This policy applies to all attendees of Code4Lib events, including event staff who are designated as official photographers and audio and video recorders.
Do not photograph, video or audio record anyone without their express permission.
During the Code4Lib conference, most attendees will have different colored badge lanyards or ribbons showing their preference for photography, for example:
- Green: Photographs always okay
- Yellow: Ask before photographing
- Red: Photographs never okay, don’t ask
The particular method of visual indication may vary depending on local arrangements at a given Code4Lib event. Organizers are urged to ensure that the visual indication does not solely rely on color to express recording references.
There is no prior opt-in for audio or video recordings. You must always ask before recording. Event organizers may ask scheduled speakers as part of preparing a speaker agreement.
The event may have one or more staff taking photographs and/or audio or video recordings during the event. These staff will respect attendees’ preferences regarding photography and recordings.
If there is a violation of this policy, event organizers will request that the photograph be removed from any sites where it was posted and deleted from the devices. In the event that this request is ignored or further violations occur, the participants violating this policy may be sanctioned. Potential sanctions include but are not limited to those listed in CodeOfConduct4Lib.
