The quick version
WhatBroke is a curated practitioner community for engineers with operational responsibility for production systems — security, cloud, and infrastructure. We're dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for every participant — regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.
We do not tolerate harassment of community participants in any form, at our meetups, in our chat channels, on social platforms, or in any space connected to WhatBroke. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate in any WhatBroke setting — sessions, side-conversations, online platforms, or social events.
Participants violating these rules may be warned or asked to leave the event at organisers' discretion, without refund where tickets apply.
The longer version
Harassment includes — but is not limited to — offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, or technology choices; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
Sponsors and partners are also subject to this policy. They should not use sexualised imagery, activities, or other material at their tables or in their presentations.
Reporting
If you are being harassed, notice someone else being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a WhatBroke organiser immediately.
At in-person events, look for organisers wearing a WhatBroke lanyard or pin. Outside of events, reach us via the contact form and we will respond in confidence.
