Defining "Leader"

[Martin Owens]

The code of conduct is an important part of being a more permanent
member of the LoCo though, it's a document which confirms your
willingness to be helpful, friendly and part of the community.

Sure you don't have to sign it, but it's better if you do. Personally I
like it, it's more of an oath to not act up and to respect others,
something we should be doing in life anyway but here it's more codified.

Leaders though need to be even more aware of their central location and
that other members look up to them. Self awareness mostly and this kind
of LCoC provides that reminder to look at your own behaviour now and
then to make sure it's fair and exemplary.
