description: Code of Conduct

The aim of the workshop is to be inclusive and welcome a diverse range of contributors with varying backgrounds. We are dedicated to fostering a friendly, safe, and inclusive environment for all, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion.

This code of conduct articulates our expectations for community participants and outlines the consequences for unacceptable behavior. Additionally, it strives to promote open science citizenship by prompting participants to recognize and enhance the connections between their actions and their impact on the community.

We extend an invitation to all workshop participants, presenters, and facilitators to join us in creating positive and secure experiences for everyone. If you observe someone actively working to ensure our community remains welcoming, friendly, and encourages the full participation of all members, we encourage you to bring it to our attention.

Unacceptable Behavior

To articulate the expectations that are incompatible with the culture we aim to cultivate for this workshop, we've outlined below the behaviors that are deemed unacceptable:



Violence, threats of violence, or the use of violent language directed towards another person.

Unwelcome verbal or written comments, or physical conduct, based on race, religion, color, sex (with or without sexual conduct, including pregnancy and sexual orientation involving transgender status/gender identity, and sex-stereotyping), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, marital status, or political affiliation.

Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material.

Posting or threatening to post other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").

Inappropriate photography or recording.

Inappropriate physical contact.

Unwelcome sexual attention, including sexualized comments or jokes, inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcome sexual advances.

Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or in person).

Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behavior.


If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community organizers reserve the right to take any action they deem appropriate, including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without prior warning.

Consequences for Violations of the Code of Conduct

The responsibility of community leaders is to uphold our standards of acceptable behavior. We will implement fair and appropriate corrective measures in response to any behavior deemed inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders possess the right and obligation to remove, edit, or reject comments, issues, and other contributions that deviate from this Code of Conduct.
