Good point. The Strange Loop policy looks OK to me. Another one I
think is OK is FSF LibrePlanet's.
Racket is an usually good community (which is the biggest reason I'm
here), and I really don't expect any problem at RacketCon. But I know
that these kinds of policies have been necessary and helpful, from time
to time, at some other events. Given that, an event communicating such
a policy is a welcoming act.
Also, it can help inclusiveness to sanity check one's own Racket
materials, occasionally. Especially in the context of Racket, with its
involvement in education and IT, where inclusiveness is an especially
high priority. (To acknowledge one of my own recent oopses: maybe a few
weeks ago, I excised, from some Racket writing of mine, some innocuous
parody lyrics to the tune of a 1980s top-40 song, when I realized that
the original song could be discouraging in a Racket context. I don't
want to think about some of the much more exclusionary things I've
realized I've done inadvertently over the years. All I can do is try to
be conscientious, and continue to learn.)
