Don’t be “that guy”

Dear FOSS4G goers,

I would like to share a brief public service announcement.

I know the conference is very stimulating and exciting. I know Portland is a very cool city. I know the evening parties often involve alcohol consumption. People are often exhausted from the conference, travel, and jet lag. It can be hard to keep a grip on appropriate inhibitions. But please don’t over do it and lose your grip.

Please try and remember your manners and basic human decency so that everyone can have a good time and feel welcome & comfortable.

Thank you & enjoy the conference.

p.s. Kudos to the Portland organizing team and thank you for huge amount of work you’ve done so that we can enjoy a great conference!
