We fully support appropriate behaviour by all Participants at the Hackathon, including during any and all official and unofficial activities.

We will not tolerate harassment of Participants in person, online, or in any other form.
Examples of harassment include offensive comments, verbal threats or demands, overly sexualised images in public spaces, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of sessions or Hackathons, and unwelcome physical contact or sexual attention.
We expect all Participants - attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers - to follow the Code of Conduct during the Hackathon.

We thank our Participants for your help in keeping the Hackathon welcoming, respectful, and friendly to all Participants.
The Organiser is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography or audio/video recording against reasonable consent, sustained disruption of talks or other Hackathons, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Overly sexual language and imagery is not appropriate at the venue, including hacks, talks, workshops, parties, social media and other online media.
Photography is encouraged, but other Participants must be given a reasonable chance to refuse being photographed. If they object to being photographed, comply with their request. It is inappropriate to take photographs in contexts where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy e.g. in bathrooms or where Participants are sleeping.
Hacks created at our Hackathon are equally subject to the anti-harassment policy.
Participants whom asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the organising committee immediately.
