You need a code of conduct to prevent that if you are not to pre-vet all slides, which is excessively bureaucratic and creates an implicit code of conduct anyway.
- EdHominem 11y agoNo, it's pretty easy. If you have a mandate you ruthlessly cull anything not on that mandate. You don't need a blacklist of banned topic, you have a whitelist of worthwhile ones and you ignore anything else. Lambda is pretty solidly about functional programming. Maybe extending to programming/admin in general but not to politics. Speakers should always be tweaking their talk for the audience anyways to handle different durations, venues, crowds, time of day, etc. If there's anything you don't want you can fix it here.
- greenrd 11y agoYou don't understand what a code of conduct is, or what this debate is about.
- EdHominem 11y agoYes, I do. I've run both tech and "fan" conferences. I'm absolutely within my legal right to call the police on anyone who I kick out for anything other than a tiny list of protected reasons, and I do so. (Very rarely, almost everyone leaves immediately when you show that you aren't playing some rules-lawyering game but simply calling the police.) Both as someone familiar with human behavior and as someone who's gotten legal advice, a code of conduct never helps me or the good attendees. It only offers refuge for the spoilers.
