An archive of programming conferences' code of conduct policies. In tasty plain text, with metadata, so they can be diffinated painlessly.

Ability to explore programming conference codes of conduct -- how they derive, adapt, and inspire others -- gives us valuable insights; as programming conference organizers who seek create a code and refine it, as community members who are held accountable for upholding it, and as sponsors who evaluate whether to support it.
Exploring a spectrum of approaches, and their nuances of language, gives us insights into conferences' values, vision, and expectations.
IMPORTANT: Inclusion of a particular code of conduct is neither intended as endorsement nor disapproval. A dataset of varied examples gives everyone a useful basis for more thoughtful conversations. You can help add to the conversation by contributing pull requests for additional programming conferences and organizations.
$ git clone https://github.com/cczona/code-of-conduct-diffinator.git
$ cd code-of-conduct-diffinator
$ diff -y conference-1.md conference-2.md
There are many alternatives to the diff command. For comparing codes of conduct, word or character diffs are more informative anyway.
Xcode Commandline Tools includes a nice GUI called FileMerge.app, which does word diffs. Filemerge is invoked at the commandline as opendiff.
$ opendiff
$ wdiff conference-1.md conference-2.md | colordiff
(Mac users: these are available from Homebrew.)
$ gvim -d
When developing a code of conduct for your programming conference, please attempt to credit the sources it draws upon, so others can likewise benefit from understanding differing approaches. For example:
Adapted from the codes of conduct by JsConfEU <http://2013.eurucamp.org/policies> and Geek Feminism <http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy>, using source materials archived at <https://github.com/cczona/code-of-conduct-diffinator>
Does your conference publish a code of conduct? We <3 pull requests. See CONTRIBUTING.md for info.
