TL;DR. Be respectful. Harassment and abuse are never tolerated. If you are in a situation that makes you uncomfortable at Spacer’s Hack Conf, if the event itself creates an unsafe or inappropriate environment, or if interacting with a Code Space representative or event organizer makes you uncomfortable, please report it using the procedures included in this document.
Spacer’s Hack Conf is a pioneering event hosted by Code Space (https://www.codespaces.org/). We stand for inclusivity and believe that every single person has the right to hack in a safe and welcoming environment.
Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, and social class. Additional cases of harassment include but are not limited to sharing sexual images, violent depictions, vulgar language, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, brigading, doxxing, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
In particular, attendees should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material both in their hacks and during the event. Booth staff (incl. volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop.
No weapons are allowed at Spacer’s Hack Conf events. Weapons include but are not limited to explosives (including fireworks), guns, and large knives, as well as any other item used for the purpose of causing injury or harm to others. Anyone seen in possession of one of these items will be asked to leave immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing or inappropriate behavior, Code Space may take any action it deems appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no eligibility for reimbursement or refund of any type.
