[diversity-talk] anti-harassment policy at SotM

[Alan McConchie]

Someone at the SotMUS birds of a feather session was involved in organizing SotM 2013, and mentioned something about resistance to having an anti-harassment policy. Unfortunately, I don't remember who said this, or what were the details of this situation.

Perhaps someone who was at the BoF session remembers more specifics?

I don't want to spread rumors or appear to be slinging mud. Apologies that I can't be more specific, and the fact is I have no first-hand knowledge of anything that may or may not have happened.
