Code of Conduct

MiniDebConf Tamil Nadu is committed to be a safe environment for all participants. All attendees are expected to treat all people and facilities with respect and help create a welcoming environment. All participants at MiniDebConf must follow both the DebConf Code of Conduct and the Debian Code of Conduct.

If you notice behaviour that fails to meet this standard, please speak up and help to keep MiniDebconf as respectful as we expect it to be. If you are harassed and requests to stop are not successful, or notice a disrespectful environment, the organizers want to help you.

• anytime someone is intentionally or unintentionally made to feel uncomfortable.
• acts of homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and other reinforcement of systematic oppression.
• unwanted or overly sexual content or imagery.
• offensive language around body size, shape, disability, and other physical or mental features.

What Counts as MiniDebConf?

This is a tricky question. Do things people say on Twitter count as MiniDebConf? What if someone makes a blog post during the conference? When in doubt, reach out to us anyway and let’s talk.
