Ahh glorious mailing list reminder day... it's the first of the month again! And it's also high time everyone took a deep breath heading into the holiday season and read through the Code of Conduct.

Here it is in shortest form for your reading pleasure:

• Be considerate.
• Be respectful.
• Be collaborative.
• When you disagree, consult others.
• When you are unsure, ask for help.
• Step down considerately.

And as a special treat this month I'm also throwing in the Flickr community guidelines.

What to do

• Do play nice.
• Do upload content that you have created.
• Do moderate your content.
• Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere.
• Do enjoy Flickr!

What not to do

• Don’t upload anything that isn't yours.
• Don’t forget the children.
• Don’t show nudity in your buddy icon.
• Don’t upload content that is illegal or prohibited.
• Don’t vent your frustrations, rant, or bore the brains out of other members.
• Don’t be creepy. You know the guy. Don't be that guy.
• Don’t use your account to host web graphics like logos and banners.
• Don’t use Flickr for commercial purposes.

And there we have it kids. Please remember to click through and read the full Code of Conduct. It takes less than a few minutes. I think you'll find it applies to a lot of things in life beyond the world of Ubuntu.
