List of sentences that we suggest you consider rewriting to improve 
readability:

     Here are some examples of behaviours that have occurred at past 
events which are not appropriate: * offensive verbal or written remarks 
related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, 
body size, race or religion; * sustained disruption of talks or other 
events; * sexist, racist, or other exclusionary jokes; * deliberate 
attempts to misdirect email threads to non-relevant or non-related 
topics; * unwarranted exclusion from monthly meeting or related events 
based on age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical 
appearance, body size, race, religion; Examples of behaviours that are 
also not appropriate include; * intoxication at an event venue; * sexual 
or violent images in public spaces (including presentation slides); * 
deliberate intimidation; * stalking or following; * unwanted photography 
or recording; * inappropriate physical contact; * unwelcome sexual 
attention; We want everyone to have a good time at our events.
     Should event organisers or moderators consider it appropriate, 
measures they may take include: * the individuals may be told to 
apologise * the individuals may be told to stop/modify their behaviour 
appropriately * the individuals may be warned that enforcement action 
may be taken if the behaviour continues * the individuals may be asked 
to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing 
to attend the event * the individuals may be moderated on email lists 
organised by, owned by or provided to CLUG.
     CLUG aims to provide a fun, welcoming and professional environment 
so that diverse groups of people — regardless of age, race, gender 
identity or expression, background, disability, appearance, sexuality, 
walk of life, or religion — can get together to learn from and be 
inspired by each other about all things Free and Open Source.
     Any public presentation which is part of any event, including but 
not limited to keynotes, presentations, lightning talks, addresses, 
mailing list posts and forums, is subject to this code of conduct and 
thus may not contain: * sexual or violent imagery; * exclusionary 
language; * insults or ad-hominem attacks.
     == Be aware == We ask everyone to be aware that we will not 
tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive, discriminatory or 
derogatory behaviour by anyone at any event or online.
     If the subject matter of the presentation cannot be presented 
adequately without including language that could be considered 
offensive, this should be pointed out in advance, at the beginning of 
the talk and in the schedule.
     If presenters are unsure whether their material is suitable, they 
are encouraged to show it to the conference’s speaker liaison or mailing 
list/forum moderators before their session.
     == All participants, including event attendees and speakers must 
not engage in any intimidation, harassment, or abusive or discriminatory 
behaviour.
     Complaints can be made to the organisers by contacting the meeting 
organiser, or mailing list/forum moderators by contacting the relevant 
email addresses.
     Sometimes this means we need to work harder to ensure we're 
creating an environment of trust and respect where all who come to 
participate feel comfortable and included.}
