RFC: YAPC Code of conduct up on github?

[Denise Paolucci]

As someone who *has* been harassed at conferences before -- though not YAPC, which I've found delightful -- it's always nice to hear efforts to make a particular space more welcoming come from people who are making those efforts because it's the right thing to do. :)

I'll also drop in a link here to the Dreamwidth Diversity Statement, which contains the most exhaustive list of axes-of-diversity we (and our users) have been able to think of in four years or so:

Likely not all applicable, but it's CC-BY-SA, so feel free to borrow liberally!

I'm pushing this because I see it as a critical part of welcoming and building diversity -- something schwern's most excellent keynote last year motivated me to take some personal responsibility for.  This policy isn't just another document, it's part of the welcome mat: how we create, honour and enforce it will say a lot about who and what we are.
