Code of conduct

.NET Notts is a community for sharing ideas and learning together. Everyone taking part, including attendees, speakers, organisers and sponsors, is expected to help make our meetups welcoming and respectful.

How we take part

• Welcome people of different backgrounds, identities, abilities and levels of experience. Make space for others to contribute.
• Discuss ideas constructively. Disagreement is welcome; personal attacks, intimidation and discriminatory language are not.
• Respect personal boundaries. Ask before photographing, recording or sharing another person's details, and respect their answer.
• Do not harass anyone, make unwanted sexual advances, or use sexualised or degrading material in community discussions and presentations.
• Follow venue safety guidance and stop behaviour when someone asks you to stop.

If something goes wrong

If you experience or witness a problem, speak to a meetup organiser at the event, or reach them through the group's published community links. Share only the details you feel safe sharing; avoid posting another person's private information publicly.

Organisers can ask someone to change their behaviour or leave a meetup to protect participants. If there is immediate danger, contact venue staff or local emergency services rather than waiting for a community response.
