Community.kt Code of Conduct

Community.kt is committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone. This code of conduct applies to official Community.kt events and official community spaces managed by Community.kt.

How to behave

• Participate in a constructive and respectful way.
• Exercise consideration, courtesy, and empathy in your speech and actions.
• Be respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences.
• Keep discussions focused on technical topics and event-relevant community discussion.
• Ask for consent before taking photos or videos of someone.
• Respect personal boundaries and requests to stop.
• Follow directions from organizers and venue staff.
• Disagreements are fine. Argumentative behavior, hostility, and trolling are not.

How not to behave

• Do not engage in harassment, intimidation, discrimination, threats, stalking, or inappropriate sexual behavior.
• Do not make threats of violence or use violent language directed at another person.
• Do not make personal insults or use discriminatory, exclusionary, or demeaning language.
• Do not engage in hostile or inflammatory arguments that derail the event from its technical and community focus.
• Do not sustain disruptive behavior in talks, conversations, or community spaces.
• Do not share someone else’s private information without permission.
• Do not encourage or advocate for any of the behavior above.

How to report issues

If someone is acting inappropriately or violating this code of conduct, and they are not receptive to feedback, or you prefer not to confront them, please speak to an organizer in person or email [email protected].

If you are unsure whether something is a violation, we still encourage you to report it. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.

We will take reports seriously, handle them as confidentially as possible, and treat retaliation for reporting as unacceptable.

Enforcement

Participants asked to stop unacceptable behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including a warning, removal from the event, or a ban from future Community.kt events.
