<br><br>Howdy,<br>
<br>
As promised the council has finally put together a Code of Conduct.<br>
This Code of Conduct will not just cover LCA but all our future<br>
conferences. We also hope to tweak it a bit so that it makes sense for<br>
all aspects of Linux Australia, for example mailing lists.<br>
<br>
Due to the not getting around to it until now the code of conduct will<br>
probably stand as is for LCA, since registration are going to open any<br>
minute now.<br>
<br>
However I would like to get feedback as to whether there is anything<br>
you would like to see changed removed or added from the current<br>
document for future events.<br>

# Linux Australia Code of Conduct<br>
<br>
Linux Australia events are inclusive events which invite diverse<br>
groups of people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, or<br>
religion - to discuss and learn about all things Free and Open Source<br>
in an environment of mutual respect, tolerance and encouragement, in<br>
accordance with the Linux Australia statement of values<br>
[<a href=3D"http://linux.org.au/values" target=3D"_blank">http://linux.org.=
au/values</a>]<br>
<br>
We value the participation of each member of our community and want<br>
all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.<br>
Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy<br>
to other attendees throughout the event and at all associated events,<br>
whether officially sponsored by Linux Australia or not.<br>
<br>
To make clear what is expected, all delegates, speakers, exhibitors<br>
and volunteers at any Linux Australia event are required to agree to<br>
and abide by the following Code of Conduct. Organisers will enforce<br>
this code throughout the event.<br>
<br>
Linux Australia strives to provide a fun, educational and friendly<br>
atmosphere at its events, and has high expectations for speakers and<br>
attendees so that all can enjoy their experience.<br>
<br>
Linux Australia will not tolerate any intimidation, harassment, and/or<br>
any abusive, discriminatory behaviour by any speakers or attendees.<br>
The use of inappropriate, derogatory, and/or offensive material during<br>
presentations and lightning talks is strictly prohibited and will lead<br>
to disciplinary actions, up to and including dismissal from the<br>
presentation or event and exclusion from future events.<br>
<br>
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender,<br>
sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race<br>
or religion, sexual images in public spaces (including presentation<br>
slides), deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, unwanted<br>
photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other<br>
events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual<br>
attention.<br>
<br>
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to<br>
comply immediately.<br>
<br>
Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist,<br>
and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you.<br>
Excessive swearing and offensive jokes are not appropriate for Linux<br>
Australia events.<br>
<br>
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience,<br>
including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and<br>
imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. All<br>
presentation material should be suitable for people aged 12 and above.<br>
No exceptions.<br>
<br>
Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave<br>
professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or<br>
exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for Linux Australia events.<br>
Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event<br>
without a refund at the discretion of the event organisers or the<br>
Linux Australia council.<br>
<br>
If someone hears or sees a speaker/attendee displaying the<br>
aforementioned behaviour, they should contact a event organiser<br>
directly. All complaints made to Linux Australia or event organisers<br>
will remain confidential, be taken seriously, investigated, and dealt<br>
with appropriately.<br>
<br>
Linux Australia may take any or all of the following measures:<br>
The alleged offender may be asked to stop or modify their behaviour<br>
The alleged offender may be warned that enforcement action will be<br>
taken if the behaviour continues<br>
If the behaviour continues, the alleged offender may be asked to<br>
immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing<br>
to attend the event (without reimbursement)<br>
The incident may be reported to the authorities<br>
<br>
Linux Australia is aware of the responsibility required to ensure a<br>
successful and productive event. If an incident occurs, Linux<br>
Australia will formally apologise to those offended. A record of the<br>
incident will be kept and future measures will be taken to ensure that<br>
it does not<br>
happen again.<br>
<br>
This Code of Conduct applies to all event attendees, sponsors,<br>
suppliers, venue and media personnel and event organisers.<br>
<br>
Thank you to PyCon US who&#39;s Code of Conduct this document was heavily<b=
r>
based on.<br>

Cheers,<br>
