can be seen in coat and tie when going for visa interview at foreign consulates - why not be informal there? FOSS is a serious professional venture and unless we behave like serious professionals, we will get no where.
Employees at Google don't have a dress code. I'm sure they are considered ' serious professionals' .
Perhaps i am stepping into the conversation halfway and without having read all the previous posts in the thread, But please show me any google employee who is at a client meeting or a presentation not in a formal dress. I am not saying business suites, but definately formal dressing is a requirement in Google for any client meeting.
They are comparatively relaxed in dressing norms in the office, but again, i am quiet sure lack of dress code does not allow them to come to work in shorts or bikinis.
Also I might add there is a vast difference between being informal and unkempt.
