14. A word about our code of conduct
15. Linuxing In London’s code of conduct is simple: We want no racism, no sexism, no xenophobia, no homophobia, no transphobia, no misogyny, etc. and please really respect others. If you feel like being rude, don’t!!
16. Bluntly put: Either follow the code of conduct, be extra polite to everyone or there is the door, please use it.
18. Please say hello to your neighbour, tell them your favourite Linux distribution or favourite technology trick, in one minute!
19. All Linuxing in London events are free to attendees, and it is purely a voluntary effort.** **If you feel you might be able to help out, please see Brian. Social skills are more important than any technical ability!
