Just a short note to let the community know that the FOSDEM staff has not been ignoring the discussion about appropriate conduct, inclusiveness and harassment at conferences. We do take these issues seriously. The organisation wishes to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all participants and does not condone offensive behaviour. This is already established policy. There will be a FOSDEM Code of Conduct that clarifies the position of the organisation in this regard. We plan to publish this text soon.
The text of the FOSDEM Code of Conduct has been published on our website https://fosdem.org/2016/practical/conduct As previously announced, there will be a small team at FOSDEM 2016 who will coordinate incident handling at the conference. Best regards, Johan van Selst FOSDEM Staff
