It is a good idea, just can't believe some poeple need to be reminded to be decent. Maybe it's just Ruby people. I haven't see this required at other language conferences.

This one applies to every O'Reilly conference: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/code-of-conduct.csp http://conferences.oreillynet.com/code-of-conduct.csp There's also a project to make one others can use: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/index.php?title=Conference_anti-harassment_policy http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/index.php?title=Conference_ant... Also, it's not "just Ruby people" who need to be reminded to act properly - that's just a group random cynics on Hacker News like to take pot shots on for some reason. The biggest stories of harassment at conferences that have done the rounds here have not tended to be about Ruby events: http://lwn.net/Articles/417952/ http://lwn.net/Articles/417952/ http://blog.valerieaurora.org/2010/11/08/its-not-just-noirin/ http://blog.valerieaurora.org/2010/11/08/its-not-just-noirin... http://blog.nerdchic.net/archives/418/ http://blog.nerdchic.net/archives/418/ (Update: I've been notified of an intriguing page which lists "incidents" - though more generally and not just about conferences - from as far back as 1982: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_incidents http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_incidents )

I don't know about other language conferences, but certainly in the past it's been needed at other developer conferences. (It's one of the reasons projects like the Ada Initiative have been set up - http://www.techworld.com.au/article/412523/breaking_down_gender_divide_open_source_open_culture/ http://www.techworld.com.au/article/412523/breaking_down_gen... )
