iHack

Participants are requested to follow the Code of Conduct. If any participant violates the above rules, strict action will be taken against them by the hackathon organizers. Hackathon is a community event where we welcome attendees from all backgrounds. This event is about increasing the overall amount of learning, partnership, and engagement in the developer community. We value the participation of each member and want everyone involved to have a joyful and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all staff and participants are expected to show respect and courtesy to others throughout the event. We believe that every single person has the right to hack in a respectful and safe environment.

No Plagiarism or Re-use of Past Work: We encourage you to submit projects only prepared in the duration of the hackathon. However, if you decide to submit projects consisting of re-used code, or re- submit a project that you have already submitted previously to any other hackathon, you are to disclose such previous use and its extent with the submission. If upon inspection, it is found that the project has re-used code that was not disclosed with the submission, the organizer may ask the participant to point out similarities and differences between the old and new work, and/or disqualify the submission from winning awards automatically.

No Harassment: Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or political views, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography or audio/video recording against reasonable consent, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Sponsors and partners are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Sponsor representatives (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

Report: Be kind and thoughtful to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Any sort of harassment or abuse is not encouraged. If you feel that you are in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable at the staff or at the fellow participants, please report it to the organizers immediately. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of hackathon staff immediately.

Consequences of Violations: Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the hackathon organizers may take any action they deem appropriate. This includes warning the offender, expulsion from the hackathon, or reporting their behavior to local law enforcement.
