Code of Conduct

Our goal is a friendly, safe, and focused space to learn Qiskit together.

Scope: This applies to all event spaces and interactions: Microsoft Teams meetings, breakout rooms, chat/DMs, and shared files.

---

TL;DR

• Keep your mic muted unless called on.
• Ask questions in chat; the presenter will reply when able, and organizers will help in chat.
• Be kind, professional, and stay on topic.
• No harassment, spam, or unauthorized recording/sharing.

---

During Sessions (Microsoft Teams)

• Stay muted during talks/demos; use Raise Hand when invited.
• Share your screen only if a host asks you to.
• Use a clear display name (e.g., First Last, OSU). Camera optional.

Be Respectful

• Welcome beginners; assume good intent.
• Use clear, professional language.
• Keep messages concise; avoid flooding or repeated posts.
• Stay on topic (Qiskit/quantum and event content).

Not Allowed

• Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or personal attacks.
• Disruption.
• Malicious links; pirated or confidential material.
• Unrelated advertising/soliciting.
• Recording or sharing others’ content without permission.

Q&A and Chat

• Post questions in chat. Include brief context (e.g., notebook cell or error line).
• One question per message helps others follow.
• Long troubleshooting may be moved by organizers to a help room/channel.

Privacy & Recording

• We will announce if recording is on. Chat may be part of the archive.

Accessibility

• If you need accommodations (captions, pacing, materials), contact organizers in advance. We will make a good-faith effort to help.

Enforcement

• Organizers may warn, mute, disable chat/screen share, move to lobby, or remove participants.
• Serious or repeated issues may lead to removal from this and future events.
