Hello! We were recently asked to provide a Code of Conduct for DebConf. Due to issues at other conferences, a written and enforcable Code of Conduct has become the standard for other open source events. We're very fortunate that we've not really needed one to the point, and I'm happy to spell out expectations to continue the trend.
I've started piecing together a template for the DebConf (universal, note, not DebConf14) Code of Conduct[0] that builds on the excellent CoC from DC13[1] as well as the CoC from LCA[2] and that also clearly defines Debian's Diversity Statement[3] and *Debian's* Code of Conduct[4]. Please note that while Debian's Code of Conduct is great, we need to be very explicit about interactions when people are actually face-to-face. I appreciate any feedback on list, and <better yet!> on the wiki. Once we've come to an agreed upon CoC (or in 2 weeks, whichever happens first, and barring any serious concerns), I'll have it added to the main conference page and pushed into the git repo for use for other Debian events. Cheers!
