Hi all,

To help formalise what we expect from our members and our support
for diversity and outreach we now have a code of conduct on the
Python Glasgow website.

Feedback welcome, this is based on http://confcodeofconduct.com/

Do you want to come to our talks on Tuesday next week? Don't have
a ticket yet? If you are quick, you might just grab the last one.

You did, but then due to the popular demand I spoke with SkyScanner

I totally agree with endorsing harassment-free environments were 
everybody can have a nice experience "regardless of gender, age, sexual 
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or 
religion (or lack thereof)".

That said, I don't fully understand what's meant by "should not use 
sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes". I mean, it sounds a bit like 
having to dress like nuns to me :-P Any clarification?

All the best,

This code of conduct was originally written for conferences and I think this
specific section is aimed at companies that hire "booth babes" or something
similar to promote their agenda. Obviously this isn't something we want at
our user group events.

When looking into this, I discovered a large range of code of conducts. In the
end I opted to use this one which is also going to be used by Python
Edinburgh. It may be that we could adapt it further for our needs and I'd be
happy to look at suggestions for improvements of the wording. At the moment it
is the same as the original but with s/Conference/Event/ and the second under
'Need help?' is different.

Cheers,
Dougal

Uh, now I understand! In that case perhaps we could rephrase it in some 
way and say that companies cannot make use of "gender, age, sexual 
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or 
religion (or lack thereof)" to promote themselves.

This way no individual liberty is limited, what do you think?

One of the purposes of a code of conduct is to ensure that everyone feels
comfortable at the event. This by definition limits your personal freedom,
whatever your gender. So I think it's quite acceptable to ask attendees to
wear appropriate, non-sexualised clothing.

Of course personal freedom should be limited - by the personal freedom 
of others. But if someone feels offended by the clothes I wear that's 
their problem, not mine; I could easily be offended by theirs too.

What dictates which clothing is appropiate and which not? Is that based 
on our culture? On religion? People of Scotland and, say, people from 
Spain, Colombia or Thailand wear very different clothing. Is one 
appropriate and the other not?  Wouldn't that suppose discriminating by 
clothing?  Isn't that against the very same CoC (not discriminating by 
appearence)?

Even accepting to tag some clothing as sexualised (which I do not), I do 
not see what's the problem with it. My sexualization is part of me as an 
individual.

All the best,

Sorry, it's me again :p

I just wanted to end saying that I think there's no need of limiting any 
individual liberty for solving the "booth babes" problem (if that's the 
problem). For starters, the issue is created by companies, if we have to 
limit any liberty is theirs (Yey! For once...).

By specifically saying that companies can not use peoples race, 
religion, appearance, blah blah blah to promote themselves we solve the 
problem while we do not restrict any legitimate self-promotion (because 
of their employees expertise, knowledge, etc.)

I don't want to make any fuzz out of this but I felt I had to speak up.

See you!

OK, thank you! I know this topic can be quite tricky and I'm sorry if my 
tone has been a bit too harsh.

I think I should also contact the people at 
http://confcodeofconduct.com/ so I can get their opinion on this topic.

Thanks for your patience!

Hi,

I'd be grateful if you could circulate this to your group and ask if they can forward on to anyone they think might be interested. A PDF is attached and a plain text version below.

The intern would be working as part of a team doing Python-based web development (Django), although Python skills are not essential to the post.

We imaging it would primarily be of interest to recent graduates or people looking to enter the digital media field.

yours sincerely,
Simon Yuill
media co-op

We believe that digital has huge potential to do good in the world. We want to make it easier and more affordable for the third sector and charities to use digital in their work ? and we need someone to help us do that better.

If you think this is the role for you ? you?ll understand UX, the digital production processes, you can communicate, and you?ll have a genuine interest in the 3rd sector. Even better if you also have some coding knowledge.

To apply for an internship:

To be eligible to apply you need to be unemployed, between 18 ? 30 years old and hold a relevant qualification (HND or above). You need to apply for this post via your Jobcentre Plus Advisor who can check your eligibility and give you an Eligibility Referral form.

Hey all,

After a great night of talks with Skyscanner this month we are heading
to Twig next for a coding dojo on the 10th of March.

Tickets are now available, so grab one here:

    http://pythonglasgow-dojo-march-2015.eventbrite.co.uk/

If you are used what it is all about, there is a wee intro on the
eventbrite page. Simply put, it is an event for all levels of ability
where we work in small teams on fun problems.

Cheers,
