      <li>sexual or violent imagery;</li>

      <li>exclusionary language;</li>

      <li>insults or ad-hominem attacks.</li>

    </ul>

    <p>If the subject matter of the presentation cannot be presented adequately without including language that could be considered offensive, this should be pointed out in advance, at the beginning of the talk and in the schedule.</p>

    <p>If presenters are unsure whether their material is suitable, they are encouraged to show it to the conference’s speaker liaison or mailing list/forum moderators before their session.</p>

    <p>Presenters and attendees are asked to avoid language which is not appropriate for an all-ages audience as much as possible.</p>

    <h2 id="be-aware">Be aware</h2>

    <p>We ask everyone to be aware that we will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive, discriminatory or derogatory behaviour by anyone at any event in person or online.</p>

    <h2 id="what-does-that-mean-for-me">What does that mean for me?</h2>

    <p>All participants, including event attendees and speakers must not engage in any intimidation, harassment, or abusive or discriminatory behaviour.</p>

    <p>If you experience or observe any of these behaviours we ask that you report them through the appropriate channel.</p>

    <h2 id="complaints-and-reports">Complaints and reports</h2>

    <p>Complaints and reports can be made to the organisers by contacting the registration desk or mailing list/forum moderators by contacting the relevant email addresses.

      All complaints made to event organisers will remain confidential and be taken seriously.

      The complaint will be treated appropriately with discretion.

    </p>

      <li>the individuals may be told to stop/modify their behaviour appropriately</li>

      <li>the individuals may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing to attend the event</li>

      <li>the incident may be reported to the appropriate authorities</li>

    </ul>

      Attendees who do not disclose this personal information will be unable to complete registration at the event and will therefore not be able to attend.

    </p>

    <p>Personal information will only be disclosed to Linux Australia, and to Government agencies where organisers believe disclosure is appropriate for legal compliance and law enforcement; to facilitate court proceedings; to enforce our terms and conditions; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the event, our attendees, or others. Linux Australia will not sell your personal information to third parties and will not use your personal information to send promotional material from any of our affiliated partners and/or sponsors.</p>

    <p>As part of the registration process attendees will be asked if they would like to subscribe to the event Mailing Lists and/or the event Announce Mailing List. Attendees who subscribe to one or more of these lists will be sent emails from the event organisers and other subscribers to the Mailing Lists. If at any time, attendees wish to unsubscribe from any of these Mailing Lists, please follow the ‘how to unsubscribe’ directions on the bottom of any message you receive from these Mailing Lists.</p>

    <p>From time to time event organisers update their information and website practices. Please regularly review this page for the most recent information about the event privacy practices.</p>

    <p>All personal information will be kept private and used only for event registration purposes, statistics for future events, and convenience for future event registration.</p>

    <h2>Network</h2>

    <p>

      The event may provide attendees with access to a wired and/or wireless network.

      The access to this network is a privilege and not an entitlement, and must be used appropriately.

      Inappropriate use includes, but is not limited to: unlawful activities, interfering with the equipment or network access of others and not respecting the reasonable expectations of privacy that attendees have for traffic flowing though the network.

    </p>

    <p>Any deliberately malicious activities on either the wired or wireless networks will be grounds for instant dismissal from the conference (without reimbursement).</p>

    <p>If any attendees use the network inappropriately, then the linux.conf.au organisers will take any enforcement action they consider appropriate. Enforcement action includes but is not limited to:</p>

    <ul>

      <li>suspending access to the network</li>

      <li>disconnecting the network permanently</li>

      <li>the alleged offender may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing to attend linux.conf.au (without reimbursement)</li>

      <li>the incident may be reported to local or Federal Police</li>

      <li>any other measure the linux.conf.au organisers see fit</li>

    </ul>

    <p>Beware that for security and operational reasons linux.conf.au may both monitor and log network traffic.

    </p>

    <h2>Audio visual</h2>

    <p>

      Event organisers may provide recordings of talks (audio and/or video) given at the event.

      This service is provided on a best-effort basis only.

      Any recordings will be released as and when they are ready, which may be some time after the conclusion of the event, and the recordings may be of varying quality.

    </p>

    <h2>Discrimination and anti-social behaviour</h2>

    <p>Linux Australia is proud to support diverse groups of people in IT, particularly women, and will not tolerate in any fashion any intimidation, harassment, and/or any abusive, discriminatory or derogatory behaviour by any attendees of the event and/or related events.

    </p>

    <p>Examples of these behaviours and measures the event organisers or Linux Australia may take are set out in the <a href="/attend/code-of-conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.

      By registering for and attending a Linux Australia event, you agree to this <a href="/attend/code-of-conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.

    </p>

    <h2>Media</h2>

    <p>There are a limited number of Media Passes available to media personnel.

      Media Passes are free of charge, and entitle media personnel to attend the event with all the entitlements of a Professional registration.

      Please note, due to the limited numbers of Media Passes available, all Media Passes will need to be approved by the event organisers.

    </p>

    <p>Any media attending the event are required to identify themselves as “media” to attendees prior to speaking on the record with any attendees of the event.

      It is the responsibility of the media to introduce themselves to the persons they wish to interview and to arrange any interviews with those persons.

      The event organisers will not make introductions or arrange interviews on behalf of media.

    </p>

    <h2>Students</h2>

    <p>

      Students who register for a student ticket (if available) to attend the event will be required to provide event organisers with proof that they are eligible for registration as a student, 

      such as providing a valid full time student ID card.

    </p>

    <h2>Alcohol</h2>

    <p>Liquor licensing laws require persons to be aged 18 years and older before they can lawfully drink alcohol in New Zealand.

      The licensed premises used as linux.conf.au venues will not serve alcohol to persons 18 years and under.

      Those attendees who look under 25 years old, may be required to show identification such as a Passport (non-New Zealand driver licences are generally not accepted) to licensed premises proving they are 18 years old or older.

    </p>

    <p>Those attendees who are younger than 18 years old are required to advise event organisers of their age, when they register.

      Those attendees may not be able to attend all of the associated social events.

    </p>

    <p>Please consume alcohol responsibly.

      Please note, licensed premises in New Zealand are prohibited from selling or supplying alcohol to intoxicated persons.

      Please adhere to local liquor laws which are available in most licensed establishments.

    </p>
