Code of Conduct Transparency Report

PyGotham strives to be a friendly and welcoming environment, and we take our code of conduct seriously. In the spirit of transparency, we publish a summary of the reports we received this year.

We appreciate those reports, and we encourage anyone who witnesses a code of conduct violation to report it via the methods listed at https://2019.pygotham.org/about/code-of-conduct/. PyGotham 2019 had four code of conduct reports made to the organizers. Anonymized details of these reports are below.

• During the public voting phase of PyGotham’s talk selection process, a voter used the code of conduct report form to report an issue unrelated to the code of conduct. Conference staff confirmed that this was not a code of conduct incident with the reporter, and no further action was taken.

• During the public voting phase of PyGotham’s talk selection process, a report was made regarding possible usage rights in a data collection process covered by the proposed talk. Copyright and / or terms of service violations are out of scope for PyGotham’s code of conduct. No further action was taken.

• An attendee made a joke about a turtle with no legs. Another attendee approached them to let them know that they should not have made the joke and should apologize. The first attendee reported themself and apologized.

• The Code of Conduct committee received a report that a vendor had violated a professional code of conduct. Conference staff agreed that this did not violate PyGotham’s code of conduct, and communicated this with the reporter. No further action was taken.
