Everyone's ideas, skills, and contributions have value.</li> <li><span>Don't assume everyone has the same context</span>, and encourage questions.</li> <li>Find a way for people to be <span>productive</span> with their skills <span> (technical and not) </span> and energy. Use language such as <span>"yes/and,"</span> not "no/but."</li> <li><span>Encourage</span> members and participants to <span>listen</span> as much as they speak.</li> <li>Strive to build tools that are <span> open and free technology for public use</span>.</li> <li><span>Prioritize access</span> for and input from those who are <span> traditionally excluded from the civic process</span>.</li> <li>Work to ensure that the community is <span>well-represented</span> in the planning, design, and implementation of civic tech. This includes <span>encouraging participation</span> from <span> women, minorities, and traditionally marginalized groups </span>.</li> <li><span>Actively involve community groups</span> and those with subject matter expertise in the decision-making process.</li> <li>Ensure that the <span>relationships</span> and conversations between <span> community members </span>, the <span>local government</span> staff and <span>community partners</span> remain <span>respectful, participatory, and productive</span>.</li> <li>Provide an environment where people are <span> free from discrimination or harassment </span>.</li> </ol> <p> Open Source San Jos茅 reserves the right to ask anyone in violation of these policies not to participate in our activities, events, and digital forums. </p> <h3>Anti-Harassment Policy</h3> <p> This anti-harassment policy is based on the example <a href="http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noref">policy from the Geek Feminism wiki</a>, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers. </p> <p> This policy is based on several other policies, including the Ohio LinuxFest anti-harassment policy, written by Esther Filderman and Beth Lynn Eicher, and the Con Anti-Harassment Project. Mary Gardiner, Valerie Aurora, Sarah Smith, and Donna Benjamin generalized the policies and added supporting material. Many members of LinuxChix, Geek Feminism and other groups contributed to this work. </p> <p> All Open Source San Jos茅 network activities, events, and digital forums and their staff, presenters, and participants are held to an anti-harassment policy, included below. </p> <p> In addition to governing our own events by this policy, Open Source San Jos茅 will only lend our brand and fund groups that offer an anti-harassment policy to their attendees. For information on how to offer an anti-harassment policy to your group, see this <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zg2FDt7awgfCmdcbzMwKHMb1A7KDOhs_z7ibCb3TLLQ/edit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noref">guide from Code for America</a>. </p> <p> Open Source San Jos茅 is dedicated to providing a <span> harassment-free experience for everyone </span> regardless of <span> gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion </span>. <span> We do not tolerate harassment of staff, presenters, and participants in any form </span>. <span> Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate </span> for any Open Source San Jos茅 event or network activity, including talks. <span>Anyone in violation of these policies may be expelled</span> from Open Source San Jos茅 network activities, events, and digital forums, at the discretion of the event organizer or forum administrator. </p> <p> <span>Harassment includes but is not limited to:</span> <ul> <li>Offensive verbal or written comments related to:</li> <ul> <li>Gender</li> <li>Gender identity and expression</li> <li>Sexual orientation</li> <li>Disability</li> <li>Physical appearance</li> <li>Body size</li> <li>Race</li> <li>Religion</li> </ul> <li>Sexual images in public spaces</li> <li>Deliberate intimidation</li> <li>Stalking</li> <li>Following</li> <li>Harassing photography or recording</li> <li>Sustained disruption of talks or other events</li> <li>Inappropriate physical contact</li> <li>Unwelcome sexual attention</li> <li>Unwarranted exclusion</li> <li>Patronizing language or action</li> </ul> </p> <p> If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from Open Source San Jos茅 network activities, events, and digital forums. </p> <p> If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact Open Source San Jos茅 Captains <a href="mailto:codeforsanjose@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noref">Annie Steenson, Joseph Richardson and Yan-Yin Choy</a>. </p> <p> Event staff or forum administrators will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. </p> <p> If you cannot reach an event organizer or forum administrator and/or it is an emergency, please call 911 and/or remove yourself from the situation. </p> <p> We value your attendance and hope that by communicating these expectations widely we can all enjoy a harassment-free environment. </p> <h3 class="h3_wrap">Email Template for Anti-Harassment Reporting</h3> <p>SUBJECT: Safe Space alert at [EVENT NAME]</p> <p> I am writing because of harassment at a Open Source San Jos茅 Communities event, (NAME, PLACE, DATE OF EVENT). </p> <p>You can reach me at (CONTACT INFO).
