# 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.
Please read more about the GTALUG Code of Conduct here:
<https://gtalug.org/about/code-of-conduct/>.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of
Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ <board(a)gtalug.org>.

The expression "bet dollars to donuts" is meant to indicate "I would
bet something expensive against something inexpensive," or "I am very
sure of the outcome."
One slight problem: some time in the past couple years, the value of
donuts exceeded that of the dollar (and I'm going by Canada's most
ubiquitous and cheapest donut chain, Tim Hortons).
Just saying: that expression needs to die.
(Yes, I'm being an ass. But it's also kind of funny.)
