As a point of comparison, Linux Foundation says this https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/attend/our-event-policy I think the Open Stack policy there could do with being expanded to be a bit more explicit than just "Be excellant to everyone", more akin to what Linux Foundation say. I also think it ought to be a bit more prominent - I looked through that link you mention and didn't even notice this footnote. Ideally on the conf registration form, there'd be a clear note saying "By registering you agreed to about by our code of conduct" linking to the text Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :| _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
