To say "everyone knows it's wrong" belies the fact that sexual harassment is endemic in this industry, and I see no reason to suggest other than Ausnog membership is representative of the industry. When these issues can't be discussed, it perpetuates such misunderstandings as: 1 - sexual

Hi guys, I will preface my comment with: I haven't been to any IT events for a year or so, but I doubt things have changed that much in this amount of time. Ok, that said... I used to go along to supplier lead launches where a lot of different vendors would come and display their shiney new

ITPA has a Code of Ethics that we inherited from SAGE-AU - we expect all members to abide by it, irrespective of where they may be. https://www.itpa.org.au/code-of-ethics/ It was written back in the 1990s, and has stood the test of time: On Mon, 1 Oct 2018 at 13:27, Peter Tonoli wrote: > To

 CoC, T's, charters etc are words on paper. There's other words on bits of paper, that hold more weight than anything we say or do here, yet are still ignored.  If people aren't afraid to outright break the law, then a simple CoC (which basically affirms common decency) wont do much to help.

From Bevan's initial email, it appears so. If you've got a better suggestion, I'm sure we're all open to hearing it? LCA's CoC isn't limited to issues of a sexual nature however: TL;DR they just want everyone to have a good time at their events. Cheers, Quoting Matt Harlum : Do people

Hi Christian, I don't know you and I don't remember meeting you at an AusNOG. But you've got my attention now. Your email to Bevan copying the list was possibly the least appropriate response possible. You want him to out his staff that have been harassed, because you don't believe him. You
