Code of conduct[edit]

The conference has the guiding Wikimedia Foundation Universal Code of Conduct for all participants.

In line with the Wikimedia mission, all who participate in Wikimedia projects and spaces will:

  • Help create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge
  • Be part of a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and
  • Strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work

The principles of the Code of Conduct are:

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we are committed to making participation in Wikimedia technical projects a respectful and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sex, sexual orientation, disability, neuroatypicality, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, political affiliation, or religion.

Technical skills and community status make no difference to the right to be respected and the obligation to respect others. Newcomers and other contributors with limited experience in our community deserve a welcoming attitude and constructive feedback. Prolific contributions and technical expertise are not a justification for lower standards of behavior.

Please be aware there is a list of unacceptable behaviors which includes harassment, intimidation, derogatory or discriminatory comments, gratuitous or off-topic use of sexual language or imagery and inappropriate or unwanted attention, touching, or physical contact (sexual or otherwise). If you feel unsafe in anyway this can be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation and / or brought to the attention of one of the conference organisers.

Covid-19[edit]

To keep everyone safe please follow our Covid-19 health and safety requirements. Our goal is to be a welcoming safe space for people including those with compromised health conditions and to ensure all measures are taken to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and other airborne diseases.

Please stay away if you are sick. Full refunds can be given.

Masks are expected to be worn (by those who can).

If you are feeling unwell, have any Covid-19 symptoms, were recently in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID, or have been instructed to isolate, please do not attend.

Our event will be masked and our expectation is that people will wear a quality N95 or KN95 mask (supplied) apart from when eating or drinking. Those who are unable to wear a mask are also welcome. People eating and drinking will manage their own safety in a variety of well ventilated spaces with the ability to social distance. Masks will be required in the function rooms during sessions although speakers and facilitators will be able to unmask during their presentations to aid communication, but they will have done a negative Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) on the day before attending. We will have RAT tests available if participants want to do one.

We also have a CO2 meter to monitor air quality. The venue rooms are spaces that can be ventilated to outside.
