 # Code of Conduct 
+
+Women Who Code (WWCode) is dedicated to providing an empowering experience for everyone who participates in or supports our community. Because we value the safety and security of our members and strive to have an inclusive community, we do not tolerate harassment of members or event participants in any form. This Code of Conduct was created to clearly define what we mean by a harassment-free experience, so that our community and those who support it are clear about our intent and have access to procedures for addressing issues, should they arise.
+
+## Women Who Code Statement of Intent
+
+WWCode values the safety and security of all of our members and, because of that, we will not tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination. Our goal is to provide a safe and secure environment for our members, and to this end we have taken the following actions:
+
+- Provided a statement of intent and code of conduct for events
+- Explicitly outlined and defined forms of harassment and discrimination
+- Clearly outlined the consequences for those who engage in harassing or discriminatory behavior
+- Provided a system for reporting any harassing or discriminatory behavior
+- Committed to a periodic review of the code of conduct
+
+## Code of Conduct for Women Who Code Events
+
+WWCode is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring women to excel in technology careers. We are committed to our mission statement and equally committed to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or socioeconomic status. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled permanently, at the discretion of the event organizers, which in most cases are members of the WWCode leadership team.
+
+## Forms of Harassment and Discrimination
+
+Forms of harassment include sexual language and imagery, sexist, racist, and exclusionary jokes, and acts that insult or belittle other event attendees in any way. These are unacceptable at any and all WWCode events. Other forms of harassment and discriminatory behavior include, but are not limited to: offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; unwarranted photography or recording; sustained disruption of event programming; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to immediately comply and may be removed from the event without warning by any member of WWCode leadership. Participants are expected to comply with the WWCode Code of Conduct at all event venues.
+
+## Consequences for Harassment and Discrimination
+
+If a participant engages in behavior which is harassing or discriminatory in any way, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate. These actions include, but are not limited to, issuing a warning or expulsion from all future events. If a warning or expulsion is issued, WWCode leadership may elect to share this information with directors from any network that the participant joins in the future.
+
+If a participant engages in behavior which is harassing or discriminatory in any way at events in more than one network, WWCode leadership may take any action they deem appropriate. These actions include, but are not limited to, issuing a warning or expulsion from all future WWCode events in all networks.
+
+## How to Report Harassment and Discrimination
+
+If you experience or notice harassment, discrimination, or any of the unacceptable behaviors outlined herein at a WWCode event, or have any other concerns, please report the incident as soon as possible. To report an incident, take one of the following actions: inform the event organizer on site; inform another organizer in your network; report the incident to WWCode HQ by completing our [incident report form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NuBY_E2DcuJx2wtKFXyS5ZY5zZlql4jcZJqsf0sAs-0/viewform). If you prefer anonymous reporting or would like for WWCode HQ to address the issue, please use the [incident report form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NuBY_E2DcuJx2wtKFXyS5ZY5zZlql4jcZJqsf0sAs-0/viewform). If you choose to share your name on the form, it will only be seen by WWCode leadership involved with resolving the issue.
+
+We encourage you to report any incident of harassment, discrimination, or unacceptable behavior as soon as possible. WWCode leadership will take all appropriate actions to mitigate risk factors moving forward and continue to provide a safe and secure environment for all WWCode members. WWCode leadership is happy to assist attendees in contacting venue security, local law enforcement, or otherwise aid those experiencing harassment so that they feel safe for the duration of the event. The WWCode leadership team will take great care to ensure that the assistance provided meets the needs of attendees who were affected.
+
+## Periodic Review
+
+WWCode strives to create a positive and inclusive environment. As such, the WWCode leadership team commits to an annual review of the Code of Conduct to ensure that it continues to align with this goal and address the needs of our community. WWCode welcomes feedback from its members. All feedback should be submitted to HQ by emailing: [email protected].
+
+## Acknowledgments
+
+We would like to thank you Heroku and AlterConf for their excellent codes of conducts, which we used as a guide for our own. We also extend thanks and gratitude to the Women Who Code members, directors, advisors, and allies who helped create this code of conduct and continue to help us improve as an organization everyday.

+# Meetup Inspiration 
+
+Wondering what type of event you could host, coordinate, and reuqest. Below is a list of "out of the box" ideas and their description to setup! 
+
+**Have an event idea? Submit a PR to add to the list**
+
+We have an assortment of meetup that can be delivered in most languages bascially Out of the Box. 
+
+#### Suggested Meetup Types
+1. Beginner's Night (Install Party!)
+
+    By the end of the night, everyone should have 100% of the tools they need on their computer to be a professional developer
+
+2. Beginner's Night (Coding basics)
+
+    Getting started is hard! At a night like this, we teach beginners `Hello World`, Recursion, or whatever you think they might need
+
+3. Demo Night/Tech Talk 
+
+    Lead(s) or(and) participant(s) gives a talk(s) about cool things they're working on
+
+4. Crash other meetups
+
+    eg, Let's get 20 of us to go to RVA Python together
+
+5. Get a job / Linkedin Updates
+
+  We all meet together and update our LinkedIn + talk about interviews and other things we've needed in getting jobs
+
+6. Happy Hour
+
+7. "How do you google for language X", "How to read the docs"
+
+  more than half of software development can be just reading the docs and searching google. It's a skill that we can teach!
+
+8. Intro to Git for Language X
+
+    Our goal is to have a weekly Git tutorial, rotating across our meetups. We want to be Git evangelists
+
+9. Tech talk planning sessions
+
+    Every one of our members can talk about some technical area. This workshop is a how-to as well as a planning + reviewing platform.
+
+10. Popular Speakers
+
+    Where we pick a topic and invite a speaker to present for us
+
+11. Conference recap 
+
+    people go to large conferences and talk about lessons learned / we show some recorded talks
+
+13. Code Review
+
+    having prepared ahead of time, one or more members present and walk through (a section of) their code. This will allow less experienced coders to learn and experienced coders the space to improve their code.
+
+    _this event differs from **3** (Demo Night) because this event will have a facilitated conversation between the person presenting code and the people reviewing the code (aka everyone else), where Demos are typically less conversational_
