### Code of Conduct

* @all: Please read once more our [Code of Conduct](https://rustfest.global/code-of-conduct/) before the conference
    * Links to translations are broken
        * Jan-Erik will fix it
    * Needs an update for online conference format
      * Rafaela will type up something
* We should point out the people in the chat & the channels where people can approach us in case of any issue - at the start of each block 
    * Moderator = Awareness?
    * Ideally, everyone should be approachable
* Do we want something similar like [JSConf Korea](https://youtu.be/s4RrmlXJPqc?t=3599) (1:03:20)?
    * TL;DR: Someone from their team re-citing the CoC and framing the behaviour that is desirable in a video
        * No, but live and different for each block instead
        * Mention / read this in the conf block intros
        * Rafaela will type up something for the slides
    * Another example: https://youtu.be/T64Kn4sceR4?t=3642 (React Summit 2020)

### Chat

[Zulip thread](https://rustfest.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/196467-RustFest-Global.202020/topic/Chat)

* Please sign up: <https://rustch.at>! Send a message to `@jer:rustch.at`

* Do we have guidelines for how people can ask questions for the MCs to ask?
    * e.g. Other conferences have used prefixing with `Q:` 
    * People that attendees can approach for questions should point themselves out in the chat

This was posted in the React Summit talk channel at the start of each talk.

Flaki: we can use the bot to our advantage to help us pick out questions.

### Other

    - For RustFest team members
    - For CfP committee 'special edition'
    - Sell high-quality hoodies with unique design to fundraise Bay Area Tech Club

DM me on Zulip so we can coordinate, and I'll also upload simple screenshots on Zulip (Branding) - Haven't yet because I'm trying to get Poncho to move to my island...
    - Pictures? :innocent: - _Coming soon, blame Poncho._
- [name=Wouter] The budget is looking good. Are we going to do stipends for CfP crew members?
    - Offer: Either conf ticket + limited edition fancy swag *or* payment?
- [name=Wouter] What is the state of the speaker reimbursements?
    - 2 persons so far
