Had a super interesting conversation yesterday with some people in the community, during which I learned a number of people are planning to steer clear of events like EMF after spotty enforcement of the Code of Conduct.
This actually matches some of my experience in recent years that many tech event CoCs aren't upheld well by the people who set them - and in some cases broken to the organisers themselves.
I really hope feedback like this leads to good discourse and useful, helpful discussion.
I don't want event organisers to feel blamed or get defensive - and I don't want people feeling like they can't go to things.
Especially now, in this climate, we must all try to do better, revisit our biases, and try to make things better even if we think they're okay already.
