[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Event Code of Conduct and photography policy

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

For folks going to the Evergreen Conference next week, please note
that there is a code of conduct in effect
<https://evergreen-ils.org/code-of-conduct/>

Evergreen event organizers are dedicated to providing a
harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender
identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical
appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate
harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and
imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. Event
participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from
the event without a refund at the discretion of the event organizers.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

* Violent threats, intimidation or personal insults directed against
another person
* Verbal, graphic or written comments related to gender, gender
identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical
appearance, body size, race, age or religion
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material
* Stalking or following, including harassing photography or recording
* Sustained disruption of talks or other presentations
* Inappropriate physical contact or sexual attention
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally
identifying information
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior
* Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to
stop, then stop

There is also a photography policy
<https://evergreen-ils.org/conference/photography-policy/>:

During the Evergreen International Conference, most attendees will
have different colored badge lanyards showing their preference for
photography:

* Green (and no stripe): Photographs always okay
* Yellow (and long stripe): Ask before photographing
* Red (multiple short stripes): Photographs never okay, don’t ask

There is no prior opt-in for audio or video recordings. You must
always ask before recording.

We are using the same lanyards that were used last year, so if you
attended the conference in Hood River and happened to hang on to your
lanyard, please feel free to bring it with you.

If an issue should arise, please don't hesitate to contact any of the
incident responders and members of the safety committee:

* Melissa Ceraso
* Lynn Floyd
* Ruth Frasur
* Rogan Hamby
* Erica Rohfls
* Jane Sandberg
* Tanya Prokrym
* Andrea Buntz-Neiman
* Galen Charlton
* Chauncey Montgomery
* Chris Sharp

Please also feel free to draw on these people if you are in need of an
escort and/or advocate to, from, or at the conference venue.

Responders will wear badge ribbons with the word "responder" on it;
also, folks at the registration desk will be able to get in touch with
responders.

Regards,

Galen
