[Debconf-team] Framework for taking measures in case of severely unsuitable behaviour during DebConf

[Lucas Nussbaum <leader@debian.org>]

Hi,

[ It sounds a bit strange to raise this after a DebConf that happened in
  such a friendly and welcoming  atmosphere, but still ... ]

This came up during a discussion with Patty Langasek, who is one of the
members of the antiharassment@debian.org alias:
Do we have a process for taking measures during DebConf in case of
severely unsuitable behaviour?

It might be useful to add something about that in
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/Welcome
for future editions of DebConf.

LCA has:
http://conf.linux.org.au/register/terms_and_conditions
and
http://linux.conf.au/cor/code_of_conduct
which includes:
Linux Australia may take any or all of the following measures: The
alleged offender may be asked to stop or modify their behaviour The
alleged offender may be warned that enforcement action will be taken if
the behaviour continues If the behaviour continues, the alleged offender
may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited
from continuing to attend the event (without reimbursement) The incident
may be reported to the authorities

To clarify: I'm not advocating a very long CoC for DebConf, but
something that clearly states that the DebConf orga team can decide to
expulse someone from the conference could unfortunately prove useful.
