Code of Conduct
RESPECT FOSS4G
Introduction
This code of conduct governs how we behave in any FOSS4G or OSGeo related event and whenever we will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honored by everyone who participates in the FOSS4G Europe 2017 event.
This code is not exhaustive or complete. It serves to distill our common understanding of a collaborative, shared environment and goals. We expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter, so that it can enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
Diversity statement
FOSS4G Europe 2017 welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.
We are committed to being a community that everyone feels good about joining, and we will always work to treat everyone well. No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: We welcome you.
BE FOSS4G !

Reporting guidelines
If you believe someone is breaking this code of conduct, you may reply to them, and point to this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate. Please assume good faith first. It is often more likely that participants are unaware of their bad behavior than that they intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion. Should there be difficulties in dealing with the situation, you may report your concerns to the FOSS4G Europe 2017 staff.
