Code As Manuscript workshops are intended for learning and skill sharing.  We
value every member of the scientific community and want all attendees to have an
enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to
show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the workshop. The same
standards of behaviour are expected in the workshop spaces online.

To make clear what is expected, everyone taking part in the Code As Manuscript
workshops---instructors and learners---is required to conform to the following
Code of Conduct. Instructors will enforce this code throughout the sessions, but
you may also contact us directly by email. All communication will be treated as 
confidential.

***Code of Conduct***

Code As Manuscript workshops, along with the 
[University of Toronto](https://www.utoronto.ca/), is dedicated to providing a
harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, nationality,
religion, or choice of text editor. We do not tolerate harassment of
participants in any form. See also the University of Toronto's
[Policy on Conduct](http://www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/Assets/Governing+Council+Digital+Assets/Policies/PDF/ppjul012002.pdf)

- Harassment includes offensive verbal or written comments related to gender,
sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or
religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking,
following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or
other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

- All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including 
people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not 
appropriate for any event.

- Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants.

- Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or
exclusionary jokes are not appropriate.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
immediately.  People violating these rules may be asked to leave the session or
be excluded from the online space at the sole discretion of the instructor(s).

Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly workshop for all.
