RFC: YAPC Code of conduct up on github?

[Jason Van Patten]

I specifically left this as a non specific comment to engender 
discussion, conceptually it should be an award that taps into the viral 
nature of the PYCON incident and contrasts the company or companies that 
highlight how Perl programmers and their employers are not "tools". 
Moreover we should highlight that YAPC despite being oriented around an 
older language is far more progressive in it's paradigm.
