What if you need more attention and want to be harassed?
Amir: Also, SVN does kinda suck :P
Seriously though, this looks great.
I've been fortunate enough to not have been harassed at a conference much
more than being trolled on occasion, but I think that's a more borderline
case that doesn't quite warrant any serious actions.
That said, I think there's an excuse game that gets played a lot. When I've
expressed concern in the past I've often been told things like like "yeah,
but they are a really good contributor, that's just how they are, deal with
it" or "they're [enter country of origin here], that's just how they
are,
deal with it".
This lays some ground rules that are fair in any venue around the world.
Thanks for putting this together.

I don't see anything preventing harassment over choice of DBMS ;-)
In all seriousness, i was harassed more than once IRL and online for
saying that SVN doesn't suck as much as die-hard Git fans say it does.
This policy can say "preferred technology" in addition to "Creative
Commons license".
