<p>Hi to all</p>
I was following the LGBT in Tanzania discussion, and I am happy to
see the question added to the next RfP.<br>
<br>
The discussion on LGBT rights and safety requires a bit of common
sense, I am LGBT it is one part of my live as being OsGEO member is
another (one of many) part(s), normally these two don't intercept
much, personally I think this is why the LGBT community is present
in OsGEO but very invisible. What?? No LGBT birds of the feather in
FOSS4G ???<br>
<br>
Having a code of conduct that is non discriminatory, we <b>must</b>
take into consideration the rights of minorities and safety of <b>ALL</b>
the participants of and a OsGEO conference, the LOC have to do their
best for the safety. LOC should also informed participants on
what are the <b>real</b> problems that participants may have to
face, then is up to the participants to decide if they fell
comfortable to to attend the conference.<br>
<br>
Again, nice to see this topic discussed and remember these comments
are my 2 cents<br>
<br>
Enjoy your day<br>
Jorge<br>

"FOSS4G attracts a global, diverse community. Are there any laws, or
social norms, in your proposed location that would make members of our
community feel unsafe or unwelcome? That could include, but is not
limited to, anti-LGBTQ+ policies, policies that would prevent the free
exercise of religion, restrictions on certain activities based on
gender or other factor, etc?”
