I expect everyone considering to attend a conference to read and understand a code of conduct. To me, the hate-speech against humanity CoC, is the same as showing a graphically explicit video of examples of non-toleratable behavior at the start of the meeting (perhaps daily); similar to a safety video on an airplane. The first time I read this text; it caused be to be disgusted with a conference I had enjoyed attending the year before - in the end I chose to attend and express the reaction I had to the new humanity hostile impression the conference now was tainted with. _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
