Our goal is to bring together the diverse users that make up the humanitarian open  mapping community / open sourced users  and to make everyone feel welcome to participate, speak up, ask questions, and engage in the event, sessions, and conversations. The growing diversity of the OpenStreetMap community includes hobbyists and professionals, people of different ethnic backgrounds and gender identities, rich and poor, etc. This is the OpenStreetMap community and are all welcome and encouraged to attend the State of the Map Nigeria Conference.

To achieve this we require that everyone participating in the conference and events should treat everyone with respect and kindness and acknowledge that people from different backgrounds have different understandings of what is offensive, derogatory, and unwelcoming, and commit to bridging this through positive communication.

To ensure that the conference and related events are welcoming and safe experiences for everyone who attends, including in this virtual environment, we have adopted the following code of conduct

The 2023 conference is dedicated to providing a harassment- free hybrid conference experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion or background. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference session; conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the conference organizers.
