hi thanks for addressing this.
it is a courageous but necessary step! peace and love a.l.e > At the Libre Graphics Meeting in Leipzig a volunteer in a position of > responsibility engaged in unacceptable behaviour which included > physical assault and verbal bullying of a conference participant. > There are witnesses to this incident and several others. Before this > incident, the same volunteer made threatening statements in public > and in private by e-mail, on IRC and in person. > > In a meeting following the incident, the volunteer was told this > behaviour was unacceptable. After being told this, the volunteer > continued to make threatening statements about the participant and > also to other members of the community. > > The gravity of these incidents and the impact they have on the safety > and well-being of other volunteers and event participants needs to be > addressed. Though the LGM community and event do not currently have > an explicit code of conduct in place, physical violence and threats > of planned harm cannot and will not be tolerated. We have been > notified that the volunteer in question continues to engage in > harassing behaviour, and have thus decided to draw a line. > > We have notified the aggressor that we do not want their > participation in future Libre Graphics Meetings and the related > communication channels. > > We regret having to take this action due to the help given by this > volunteer at LGM. These aggressive actions however leave us no > choice. _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
