# Fear and Loathing and Mailing Lists with Evan Leibovitch
In today's environment of spambots, blacklists, European privacy laws and Canadian anti-spam regulations, sending out bulk email these days is not for the timid.
This presentation will describe one organization's search for the best way to do this. In the process it will identify some of the tools available - both open source and cloud based - and offer advice and warnings to others looking to use this method of communications.

# Code of Conduct
We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every
process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing
needs, interests and skills.
We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who
enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups
collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that
could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community.
The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the
Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by
everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims
affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or
offline.
We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open.

# Lighting Talks Strike Twice.
This is GTALUG's version of an un-conference, a loosely structured short talks emphasizing the informal exchange of information and ideas between participants, rather than following a conventionally structured GTALUG meetings.
If you already have a topic in mind please send an email speakers(a)gtalug.org to be added to the list of scheduled talks.
If you would like to give a talk during the meeting, all you have to do is write your name on a post-it and stick it on the whiteboard in the front of the room. When your talk gets selected, you will have five to present your idea, then five minutes of audience questions.
### Scheduled Lightning talks
* Pam and yubikey with Tomas Babej
* Art and Open Source with Dan Tapper
* Recent Developments in Open Source Assistive Technology with Stewart Russell
* Scrapy with Elaine Wong
* Jumping through the hoops towards GPU-accelerated computing with Alex Volkov
