Attendee Code of Conduct
All participants of the Hackathon (Organisers, Judges, Mentors, Competitors) and their associated Guests (Family & Friends), and any Service Providers or Visitors (Supporter Representatives, Media, Emergency Services, Providers, IT support, Entertainers, etc) are expected to uphold the national & state laws of the event they are attending or registered to compete from, and this code of conduct, and any of the sub-codes of conduct listed below.
The Hackathon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, previous hackathon attendance or computing experience (or lack of any of the aforementioned). We do not tolerate harassment of Hackathon participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for any Hackathon venue, including hacks, talks, workshops, parties, social media and other online media. Hackathon participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the Hackathon at the discretion of the Organisers.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography or audio/video recording against reasonable consent, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Photography is encouraged, but other participants must be given a reasonable chance to opt out from being photographed. If they object to the taking of their photograph, comply with their request. It is inappropriate to take photographs in contexts where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (in bathrooms or where participants are sleeping).
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. As this is a Hackathon, we like to explicitly note that the hacks created at the Hackathon are equally subject to the anti-harassment policy. Sponsors and partners are also subject to the antiharassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the Organisers immediately. Organisers will be happy to help participants contact any local security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the Hackathon. We value your attendance. If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the Organisers may take any action they deem appropriate. This includes warning the offender, expulsion from the Hackathon or reporting their behaviour to local law enforcement.
This Hackathon has been designed to demonstrate the benefit of open access. Please participate in and engage with the Hackathon in that spirit and in good faith. You must not include submissions that are:
potentially libellous, false, defamatory, privacy invasive or overtly political;
material which is potentially confidential, commercially sensitive, or which would cause personal distress or loss;
language which is offensive, obscene or otherwise inappropriate; or
misleading, deceptive, violate a third party’s rights or are otherwise contrary to law.
Participants will keep the venue clean and tidy and use the rubbish and recycling bins as appropriate. Participants will let the Organisers know if there are any issues.
Participants are expected to follow these rules during the Hackathon and workshop venues and Hackathon related social events.
The Hackathon should be an awesome experience for everyone. Be nice, play fair, or go home.
