Reposting messages to YAPC mailing list

[Todd Rinaldo]

Some of the posts we've been making for YAPC didn't go through due to
some technical issues with mailman. I'm going to aggregate them here
to go easy on everyone's inbox.

Idea Collector

Continuing with the tradition started last year, we’ve set up a site
specifically for you to submit and vote on ideas for YAPC::NA 2013.
Whether it be ideas for about speakers you’d like to come see present,
or the subject of talks you’d like to see, or maybe a social activity
you’d like to participate in. Any idea is welcome. And then everyone
can vote on those ideas so that the most popular ideas will float to
the top.

Code of Conduct

At this year’s YAPC::NA, we hope it’s everything you’re expecting, and
more! When we say more, we mean good things, so we’re going to cover
some basics regarding conduct. You know these, and we’re sure you’ll
have no problem respecting them, so here’s just a small run through.

One of the great things about the Perl Community is the diversity it
incorporates. We know every sponsor, volunteer, speaker, attendee, and
vendor will be welcoming to everyone.  No one will exclude anyone
based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion,
preferred operating system, programming language, or text editor.

A few things to keep in mind; be considerate, respectful,
collaborative, mindful of your surroundings, and of your fellow
participants. This includes refraining from demeaning, discriminatory,
or harassing behavior and speech. If any of this is occurring, or
someone needs help, please don’t hesitate to tell conference
organizers.

Sometimes, things don’t always stay inside the lines. Things like
harassment, being abusive, discriminatory, using derogatory language,
or not respecting the general public at various venues could lead to
expulsion. No one wants that! If you are ever on the receiving end,
let Will Braswell, YAPC::NA Director, know right away (+1
512-655-9272).

This is a big year for Perl; 25 years! Celebrate in a big way, but
remember to keep your conduct on point so everyone has just as great
of an experience!
