We could use some help in running this meetup. If any of the following interests you, please contact us:
- Social Media – promoting via Facebook or Twitter, designing a logo
- Events – giving a talk, recommending a speaker, discussion topic ideas, lightning talks of just a few minutes
- Social events – finding locations, coming up with ideas, hosting and welcoming people
- Sponsors – companies who can provide space and/or sponsor food and drink or social events, we would need someone from the company to be at each event they host
- Accessible Saturday Venue – we're looking for an accessible venue to host our monthly Lunch & Code event on a Saturday, please get in touch if you can host, even just for one occasion!
- Buddy Volunteers – we're always looking for people happy to be buddies to new members, if you'd like to volunteer, read our criteria here, and join #buddy-scheme on Slack!
- Website & Branding – we're working on improving our website and branding. If that's something you'd like to help with, please join #website or #branding on Slack
If you want to help out with something else that is not listed, let us know!

Please get in touch with Sam (@onlyskin on Slack) if you have any issues / concerns / anxiety about anything to do with Queer Code London that you’d like to raise safely and/or privately with the group or organisers.
We run a buddy scheme. This is available to anyone who wants to come to an event and would feel more comfortable meeting someone friendly before the event. If you would like to use the buddy scheme, please visit our application page and submit an email with the specified information. We will do our best to arrange someone to meet with you before the event.
We want to get more queer coders excited about us! What better way to show them than by having some photos up so they can see what it’s like at our meetups. We will dedicate one person for the next few meetups to take some photos.
We have a special marker for nametags if you are okay with being in photos (this is an opt-in system).
If you are in one of our published photos and you are not happy, please feel free to tell the organisers and we will stop using it. This is our first photo policy and we are open to feedback on how to improve it!
We want to say thank you to {{ list of sponsors }} for hosting us, and providing the space and food/drinks for our meetups. Thanks also to JetBrains for providing us with IDE licenses to raffle at our events.
