Code of Conduct (Detailed View)

Part 1. Introduction

The Climathon is a community-led project. We value the involvement of everyone participating in the event. We are committed to creating a friendly and respectful place for participation. All participants in the event and associated communications are expected to show respect and courtesy to others.

To make clear what is expected, everyone participating in the Climathon is required to conform to the Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces associated with the Climathon including, but not limited to, the event itself, email lists, and online forums such as GitHub, Slack and Twitter. The event organisers are expected to assist with the enforcement of the Code of Conduct.

All reports will be reviewed by the organisers and will be kept confidential.

Part 2. The Climathon Heidelberg Code of Conduct

The organisers of Climathon Heidelberg are dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all people, regardless of background or identity. As such, we do not tolerate behaviour that is disrespectful to our participants or that excludes, intimidates, or causes discomfort to others. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on characteristics that include, but are not limited to, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, citizenship, nationality, ethnic or social origin, pregnancy, familial status, veteran status, genetic information, religion or belief (or lack thereof), membership of a national minority, property, age, education, socio-economic status, technical choices, and experience level.

Everyone who participates in the Climathon and associated communications is required to conform to this Code of Conduct. It applies to all spaces associated with the Climathon including, but not limited to, workshops, email lists, and online forums such as GitHub, Slack and Twitter. Workshop hosts are expected to assist with the enforcement of the Code of Conduct. By participating, participants indicate their acceptance of the procedures by which The Carpentries resolves any Code of Conduct incidents, which may include storage and processing of their personal information.

Part 2.3 Consequences of Unacceptable behaviour

Participants who are asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. This applies to the Climathon itself and associated platforms, either online or in-person. If a participant engages in behaviour that violates this code of conduct, the organisers may warn the offender, or ask them to leave the event or platform (without refund).
