@abstractcode I don't see a problem with a talk like that at all, or if I did it'd be making sure you weren't getting yourself into legal trouble. I mean hell PyCon AU has had the "DevOops" specialist track several times which is the natural home for that kind of talk. The "attacking yourself" thing only hits for me when you're using it as a way to say "it's ok for me to make fun of them because I also made fun of myself" which is never how it works. Agree 100% on the code of conduct point. There's no harm in being explicit in the behaviour you expect.
