              1. Some final thoughts on code of conducts before I hope to never have to talk about them again.

              1) if people have to know you to trust your CoC then it is not a good CoC. The CoC is really for people who /don't/ know you.

            2) examples of unacceptable behavior are necessary. Include "not limited to". But anything that makes people uncomfortable is too vague.

          A) because plausible deniability "I didn't know and I thought she would like it if I did that"

        B) because you know one way I make men uncomfortable sometimes? By pointing out their bad behavior. Needs to be clear what's actually wrong.

      I only speak at conferences with a CoC. We only include conferences with a CoC in techspeakdigest. We push this because it matters.

    Have my stories, more from friends. Want to see better representation of minorities at conferences but I want those experiences to be GOOD.

      Code of conduct doesn't guarantee that. But not having one is too big a red flag to ignore, IMO. I won't suggest anyone else does.
