Hi Sheila
If that type of activity occurs I would completely support a code of
conduct that is enforced. No one and no organization should put up with
that behavior. I've not attended Chicago Python Workshops or Python Office
Hours so don't know what kinds of people attend them. I can only speak for
the Chipy meetings I have attended and they have all been professional,
welcoming and very friendly.

For me they are that, just a group that meets once a month
