The Barcelona Perl Mongers, as part of the Perl Community, believe our community should be truly open for everyone. As such, are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, preferred operating system, programming language, or text editor.

We therefore ask all our members, 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 realising this goal.

Be respectful

Respect yourself, and respect others. Be courteous to those around you. If someone indicates theys don't wish to be photographed, respect that wish. If someone indicates they would like to be left alone, let them be.

• Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
• Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory or harassing behavior and speech.
• Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.

Be inclusive

All presentation material should be suitable for people aged 12 and above. Any public presentation which is part of any event, including but not limited to keynotes, presentations, lightning talks, addresses, mailing list posts and forums, is subject to this code of conduct and thus may not contain:

• sexual or violent imagery;
• exclusionary language;
• insults or ad-hominem attacks.

If the content of the presentation requires includings language that could be considered offensive, this should be pointed out in advance, at the beginning of the talk and in the schedule.

If presenters are unsure whether their material is suitable, they are encouraged to show it to the conference's speaker liaison or mailing list/forum moderators before their session.

Be aware

We ask everyone to be aware that we will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive, discriminatory or derogatory behaviour by anyone at any event or online.

Complaints can be made to the organisers by contacting them in person or sending an e-mail to workshop2016@perl.cat. All complaints made to event organisers will remain confidential and be taken seriously. The complaint will be treated appropriately with discretion. Should event organisers or moderators consider it appropriate, measures they may take include:

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