What we’re about

A monthly celebration and exploration of the JavaScript programming language. If you are interested in speaking or sponsoring please contact one of the organizers!
Keep in touch with us on twitter @bos_js and Slack at Boston JavaScript

Additionally, please refrain from posting job listings or unsolicited proprietary resources. Any posts or communication that violate this will be flagged as inappropriate and deleted. Now we have a dedicated slack channel called #jobs.

Everyone deserves a thoroughly pleasant meetup experience, regardless of who they are. Therefore, we adhere to the Code of Conduct below and expect all our speakers, attendees, and volunteers to do the same. Please take the time to read it before attending your first meetup!

Code of Conduct for BostonJS Events

BostonJS is a not-for-profit professional networking group dedicated to providing an inclusive community for discussing, learning about, and working with JavaScript 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. At the discretion of the event organizers, participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or banned permanently.

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 BostonJS 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 harassing behavior must comply with the BostonJS Code of Conduct immediately. Any BostonJS event organizer or host may remove any participant who does not comply with the BostonJS Code of Conduct without warning. Participants must abide by the BostonJS Code of Conduct at all event venues. The BostonJS 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 BostonJS organizers directly via email, message via meetup.com, or approach them in person at the event. An anonymous incident report form is forthcoming. 

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