The Docker Containers for Reproducible Research Workshop brings together researchers, developers and educators to explore best practices when using containers, not only Docker, and the future of research software with containers.
We value the participation of each stakeholder and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the workshop and at all workshop events, including online.
To make clear what is expected, all attendees, speakers, exhibitors, organisers and volunteers at Docker Containers for Reproducible Research Workshop 2017 are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the workshop.
