Code of Conduct
Ethan and Karen are committed to providing a supportive and harassment-free environment for everyone who participates in our Responsive Web Design Workshops. We welcome people of all races, gender and trans statuses, sexual orientations, physical abilities, physical appearances, and beliefs. We’ve written this code of conduct not because we expect bad behavior, but because we believe a clear code of conduct is a necessary part of building a respectful community space.
Workshop participants agree to:
- Be considerate in speech and actions, and actively seek to acknowledge and respect the boundaries of fellow attendees.
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. Harassment includes, but is not limited to: deliberate intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography or recording; sustained or willful disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes; and unwelcome sexual attention. If you feel that someone has harassed you or otherwise treated you inappropriately, please alert any member of the workshop team in person, via the team phone/text line, or via email.
- Take care of each other. Speak up and alert a member of the workshop team if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this code of conduct, even if they seem inconsequential. (Don’t feel you need to wait for a break in the schedule, either: if you see an issue, we’d be grateful if you alerted us immediately.)
HOW TO REACH US: We will be available via voice or text at: (773) 243-9791
If any attendee engages in harassing behavior, the workshop organizers may take any lawful action we deem appropriate, including but not limited to warning the offender or asking the offender to leave the workshop. (If you feel you have been unfairly accused of violating this code of conduct, you should contact the workshop team with a concise description of your grievance; any grievances filed will be considered by the entire workshop team.)
We welcome your feedback on this and every other aspect of our workshops, and we thank you for working with us to make them safe, enjoyable, and friendly experiences for everyone who participates.
