Linux Australia is committed to the ideals expressed in our <a href="http://linux.org.au/values">Values Statement</a> and ask all our members, speakers, volunteers, attendees and guests to adopt these principles. We are a diverse community. Sometimes this means we need to work harder to ensure we're creating an environment of trust and respect where all who come to participate feel comfortable and included.
</p>
<p>We value your participation and appreciate your help in realising this goal.</p>
<h2 id="be-respectful">Be respectful</h2>
<p>
Respect yourself, and respect others.
Be courteous to those around you.
If someone indicates they don't wish to be photographed, respect that wish.
If someone indicates they would like to be left alone, let them be.
Our event venues and online spaces may be shared with members of the public; please be considerate to all patrons of these locations.
