Boston Node

Boston Node was started to discuss Node.js and its application in real-world scenarios both large and small. Come out if you want to hear how others are using Node.js!

Code of Conduct for Boston Node Events

Boston Node is a not-for-profit professional networking group dedicated to providing an inclusive community for discussing, learning about, and working with JavaScript, the Node.JS runtime, and related technologies. We are committed to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, socio-economic status, caste, creed, or preferred programming language. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled permanently, at the discretion of the event organizers.

Forms of harassment include sexual language and imagery, sexist, racist, and exclusionary jokes, and acts that insult or belittle other event attendees in any way. These are unacceptable at all Boston Node events. Other forms of harassment and discriminatory behavior include, but are not limited to: offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, caste or creed; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; unwarranted photography or recording; sustained disruption of event programming; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. 

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior must comply with the Boston Node Code of Conduct immediately.  Any participant that does not comply with the Boston Node Code of Conduct may be removed from the event without warning by any Boston Node event organizer or host. Participants are expected to comply with the Boston Node Code of Conduct at all event venues. The Boston Node Code of Conduct does not supersede any venue or host-specific Codes of Conduct.

How to report harassment & discrimination

To report an incident, you may contact any of the Boston Node organizers directly via email or message them via meetup.com. An anonymous incident report form is forthcoming. 

Periodic Review

Organizers review the Code of Conduct annually and welcome constructive feedback from the community.
