Have there been any specific incidents in jsmn?  Does it make sense to codify common decency in an informal organisation?

Hi everyone,

There's been a lot of talk in the geek news channels of late about pretty horrible harassment incidents, particularly around female speakers and leaders in the industry.  I think we can all agree that we want JavaScriptMN to be a place where this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

To help codify this, I drafted a new Code of Conduct for JavaScriptMN with input from James and Jason:

http://www.meetup.com/JavaScriptMN/pages/Code_Of_Conduct/

The goal of creating this document is to have a common understanding that harassing activities will not be tolerated in the group.  Further, that we will all, in small or big ways, try and act as agents of positive change in our industry.

I think all of you are already living this, but I wanted to get this out there.  If you have any input on the document, please feel free to either reply on this thread, or to me directly if you prefer.

Thanks!
