ILUG-D Code of Coduct: Please review

Code of Conduct for Indian Linux User's Group Delhi

ILUG-D, as part of the greater Free Software/Hardware Community, assumes good faith on all those who wish to take part in ILUG-D's activities. However, some experiences at other meetups, conferences etc. have shown us the need to adopt a Code of Conduct in which we state our expectations of all attendees and organizers during any meetups/conferences/events organized/participated by ILUG-D
This code of conduct applies to all attendees/organizers at meetups/conferences organized by ILUG-D.

ILUG-D Diversity Statement

Indian Linux User's Group Delhi welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.

No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they interact constructively with our community.
While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we value and encourage contributions from those with expertise in other areas, and welcome them into our community.

Be excellent to each other

ILUG-D is committed to providing a safe environment for all participants at meetups/conferences/events. All attendees are expected to treat all people and facilities with respect and help create a welcoming environment. If you notice behavior that fails to meet this standard, please speak up and help to keep ILUG-D as respectful as we expect it to be.
ILUG-D is committed to the ideals expressed in our Diversity Statement (above). We ask all our organizers, speakers, volunteers, attendees and guests to adopt these principles. We are a diverse community. Sometimes this means we need to work harder to ensure we're creating an environment of trust and respect where all who come to participate feel comfortable and included.
We value your participation and appreciate your help in realizing this goal.

Be respectful

Respect yourself, and respect others. Be courteous to those around you. If someone indicates they don't wish to be photographed, respect that wish. If someone indicates they would like to be left alone, let them be. Our event venues and online spaces may be shared with members of the public; please be considerate to all patrons of these locations, even if they are not involved in the conference.

Be inclusive

By default, all presentation material should be suitable for people aged 12 and above.
If you could reasonably assume that some people may be offended by your talk, please state so explicitly in the submission notes. This will be taken into account by the Organizing Team. In case you are unsure if this applies to you, please contact the organizers. Please note that you are solely responsible if anything is deemed inappropriate and you did not contact the organizer's team beforehand.

Be aware.

We ask everyone to be aware that we will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive, discriminatory or derogatory behavior by anyone at any ILUG-D meetup/conference/event or in related online media.
Complaints can be made to the organizers by contacting them. All complaints made to event organizers will remain confidential and be taken seriously. The complaint will be treated appropriately and with discretion. Should event organizers or moderators consider it appropriate, measures they may take can include:

• the individuals may be told to apologize
• the individuals may be told to stop/modify their behavior appropriately
• the individuals may be warned that enforcement action may be taken if the behavior continues
• the individuals may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing to attend any part of the event
• the incident may be reported to the appropriate authorities

What does that mean for me?

All participants, including event attendees and speakers must not engage in any intimidation, harassment, or abusive or discriminatory behavior.
The following is a list of examples of behavior that is deemed highly inappropriate and will not be tolerated at any of our meetups/conferences/events:

• offensive verbal or written remarks related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion;
• sexual or violent images in public spaces (including presentation slides);
• deliberate intimidation;
• stalking or following;
• unwanted photography or recording;
• sustained disruption of talks or other events;
• unwelcome physical contact or other forms of assault;
• unwelcome sexual attention;
• sexist, racist, or other exclusionary jokes;
• unwarranted exclusion from conference or related events based on age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion;

We want everyone to have a good time at our events.

Questions?
If you’re not sure about anything in this Code of Conduct, please contact the ILUG-D organizers at [email protected].
If you wish to report a violation of this Code of Conduct, please contact the organizers.

Our Promise to You

• We will read every complaint and have several people on that alias that can help investigate and resolve the complaint.
• We will reply, in writing, as soon as possible to acknowledge the concern and assure that the matter is being investigated.
• Depending on the situation, we will talk to the reporter, the reported, or both to determine what mediation and/or action is necessary.
• Depending on the outcome of the investigation and mediation, we reserve the right to expel people not in compliance with our Code of Conduct from the venue. ILUG-D, the ILUG-D Organizing Committee and the venue in which meetup/conference/event is being held will not be held responsible for further costs incurred by the dismissal from the conference.

Disclaimer

This code of conduct could be reviewed and modifications could be made to it as appropriate.

Hacking time at the end of the meetup!

At some meetups, we can utilize the extra available time at the venue as per following suggestion:

• We can have a hacking and debugging session at every meetup, where people can come ask anything about their broken system
• hack on (make) stuff. Anything they like which may lead to a great fun project in the end as did the Space War in 1960s by Steve Russell.
• we can also have small quiz up session, discussion on open source culture, hacker ethic etc.
• We can have bug bounty program kinda, where you have to complete issues on any of the community project either website or anything else.

Note: Add on your suggestion as well.

LinuxChix Meetup 20th August 2017

Hello,

I immensely enjoyed the LinuxChix meetup yesterday though I did have one issue to raise.

First, let me thank the organizers, the speakers and everyone who took the time to attend the meetup for all of their hard work in making this meetup possible. It is through your dedication and effort that FOSS can gain better recognition and usage in India. Thank you!

Thank you Brihi Joshi & Shravika Mittal for the enlightening talk on Tessel. I found it quite interesting and would like to discuss the security aspects of running the Tessel board as an IOT device at some point in the future! 👍

आधोक्षज मिश्रा, आपकी टॉक सुनकर हमे बहुत मज़ा आया अौर हमने काफी कुछ सीखा । धन्यवाद !

Thank you to the ILUGD members for giving sharing their knowledge about i3m, I look forward to trying it one day :D

---

The issue I wanted to raise relates to one member, whose name I do not know nor do I care enough to find out, who behaved in a rude, condescending and disrespectful manner towards me when I merely tried to answer another attendee's question about ZipBombs. I believe this individual knows who he is.

I have zero tolerance for such garbage behavior or such disrespectful individuals.

I request that should this individual and his posse be present at any future LinuxChix/ILUGD/etc meetup that they refrain from interacting with me entirely. I have no desire whatsoever to communicate with any of them in any way, shape or form.

---

Thank you for your time and for making the effort to ensure that the Indian FOSS community is a welcoming & inclusive space for everyone.

ILUGD Github membership policies

So here is my proposal,

• Since we don't have to maintain or pay for having more members, it doesn't make sense to remove the ones who are not active, they can leave on their own.
• If possible we can demote them to Member with minimum privileges.
• The active members who are owners won't be demoted or have privileges revoked.
• We would create teams with proper privileges for the repository and add members accordingly.

Incentives for volunteering

We do own the domain linuxdelhi.org aren't we? Can we give away prizes like a mail to someone who is actively volunteering? like <name>@linuxdelhi.org if he/she wants one ?
P.S : Zoho has free plan for upto 25 users

Talks selection and scheduling.

Since for a long time, there are various talks that haven't been delivered for over a year or so.

I suggest that during the Talk proposal, we ask the speakers in the talk proposal template to provide their probable availability so that we can schedule their talk accordingly.

Format for Volunteers Section in out About Page

From the feedback we had in our last meetup at IIIT-D, 24th March, I am proposing for a volunteers section in out about page which would present our volunteers in the given format.
