# Linux and UN Refugee Agency

Longtime GTALUG member and open source advocate Evan Leibovitch Has just returned from a two-year contract heading the Community Technology Access program of the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).

In this presentation Evan will discuss some of the challenges encountered in providing Internet connectivity and services to some of the world's most impoverished populations. Special emphasis will be given to the role of FOSS-based solutions and collaborative techniques in this unique realm of both technical and political problem-solving. Q&A to follow.

# 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.
