Code4lib Anti-Harassment Policy

This is repository is a space for dialog in the maintenance of an anti-harassment policy for the Code4lib annual conference, mailing list, and other Code4Lib channels.

Resources for policies/starting points:

• The Ada Initiative: Anti-harassment work
• Geek Feminism Wiki: example anti-harassment policy for conferences
• how to hack code4lib: don't be sexist/racist/*ist
• MoreThanMen.org Harassment policy examples for conferences
• CAUT Anti-harassment and Non-Discrimination Statement
• AAI Anti-harassment policy: This is a good one because it includes a short boilerplate statement for conferences/events, plus a longer document suitable for the organization as a whole.

Code of Code4Lib Conduct

The Code of Code4Lib Conduct is an evolving document that applies not only to the annual Code4Lib conference, but also to the other ways we interact, including theCode4lib listserv, irc, and other Code4Lib venues, such as the Slack and Discord channels.
