On the importance of an *explicit* code of conduct

First, some context.

I urged the AltConf organizers to publish a Code of Conduct for their attendees and speakers. In that Twitter conversation, I repeatedly cited Ashe Dryden's Code of Conduct 101 + FAQ.

This is what they published on their website as their code of conduct (as of 2014-05-06):

AltConf is provided free of charge, on a first-come, first-served basis, without warranty or liability, by volunteers, for the good of our community.

To participate in our conference in any way (attendee, speaker, sponsor, etc), you must agree to abide by the instructions of the volunteers and the decisions of the organizers, and acknowledge that you may be barred from participation at any time, for any reason.

Crowdsourced career mentorship for female developers

I was inspired by Selena Deckelmann's list of Career Resources for Women (http://www.chesnok.com/daily/career-resources-for-women/), but couldn't think of much to contribute. So I thought maybe those of us already in the field and in a position to mentor could work on creating more. Please fork or comment and add your own!

Also: there is a wealth of info online and elsewhere dating back to the first time it occurred to our species to exchange labor for currency on these topics in general. What I hope we can provide here is our take as individuals. What we would say to someone if we were sitting across from her acting as a mentor. I don't think we should worry about being objectively "right", or about duplicating topics. I add this bit of anti-editorializing in hopes that women will contribute without feeling pressured to be experts, which I worry might prevent them from doing so. TY. :)

This grabs URLs associated with the people you follow on Twitter and then tries to scrape RSS feeds from the URLs. You have to get OAUTH creds from dev.twitter.com/apps to do this, and then register the script so that you get the access_token + access_token_secret. Rev 2 actually produces valid OPML. ;)

add the "<a name" and span icon there as well, so you can style it with a cute little hoverable link
