Hi! I'm Molly de Blanc and I'm helping PyCon US with code of conduct
response this year. We are looking for volunteers to join the Code of
Conduct Team for PyCon US 2025 in Pittsburgh, PA. The Code of Conduct Team
supports the PyCon US community by taking reports should anyone
violate the PyCon
US Code of Conduct
<https://policies.python.org/us.pycon.org/code-of-conduct/> and, when
appropriate, participating in deciding how PyCon US should respond.
Code of Conduct Team shifts are 3-4 hours long. We are looking for
volunteers for the tutorials (May 14 - 15), the main conference (May 16 -
18), and the first 2 days of sprints (May 19 - 20), and ask that you be
prepared to do a minimum of two shifts.
As a member of the Code of Conduct Team, you will:
-
Take reports of incidents that occur at PyCon US (there’s a handy form
for this)
-
Keep track of your email and/or Slack while on shift
-
Participate in discussions about how to respond to incidents (as needed)
As a member of the Code of Conduct Team, you will not:
-
Have to make any tough decisions on your own
-
Have to approach anyone you are uncomfortable approaching
-
Have to address incidents that involve your friends
In addition to the minimum two shifts, you will need to attend a 90-minute
training session virtually before PyCon US or in-person on May 14th or 16th.
We are looking for people with a wide range of experiences in and outside
of the Python community! We are especially interested in talking with you
if you:
-
Have experience with code of conduct response, moderation, etc
-
Speak multiple languages (especially Spanish)
-
Are from outside the United States
If you are interested in joining us on the Code of Conduct Team, either fill
out this form

Cheers,
Molly
