Our code of conduct

We firmly believe in the value and importance of an environment where all community members feel welcome and safe. This Code of Conduct explains the behavior we expect from AWS community members interacting at our events. The purpose of our events is to foster technical and professional education and encourage community discussion.

Please also refer to the offical AWS code of conduct.

Behavior

1. You will behave in a way that facilitates a safe and supportive environment for all community event participants, and across online forums, and social media platforms.

2. You will not engage in disruptive speech or behavior or otherwise interfere with other individuals’ participation in community events, and across online forums, and social media platforms.

3. You will not interfere with the operation of community events, online forums, and social media platforms.

4. You will not attempt to receive benefits that you are not entitled to at community events and programs, and across online forums, and social media platforms.

5. You will not engage in any form of harassing, offensive, discriminatory, or threatening speech or behavior, including but not limited to relating to race, gender, gender identity and expression, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or other protected category.

6. You will comply with the instructions of community event and user group staff, and online forum, and social media platform moderators.

7. You will comply with all applicable laws and, in the context of community events, all of our event-specific requirements (including all health and safety requirements).

Scope

We expect all community members (including but not limited to attendees, vendors, sponsors, speakers, volunteers, moderators, and AWS employees) to uphold the principles of this Code of Conduct. In the context of community events, this Code of Conduct covers the main event and all related events (social or otherwise).

Consequences

If we believe you breached this Code of Conduct, we may prohibit you from attending future community events and interacting across our blogs, online forums, and social media platforms, and we may remove any content you created in violation of this Code of Conduct. Additionally, if we believe that you breached this Code of Conduct in the context of a community event, we may require you to leave the community event. If we require you to leave a community event, you will not be eligible to receive a refund of any fees paid to us related to the event. All determinations are at our sole discretion. We will involve law enforcement if we deem appropriate.
