So, the wording on the page. """ Newcomers are always welcome to attend or write to the mailing list, we're a friendly bunch! Though we are not affiliated with Linux Australia or Pycon AU, we've chosen to follow their [[ http://2013.pycon-au.org/register/code_of_conduct|Code of Conduct]] for our meetings. Not because we've ever had any problem in the past, but so that we know what to do if any problem should arise in the future. """
