I like the pycon code of conduct but I also want to be sure that communication outside of the summit is also covered (from mailing lists, user groups, etc). Pycon clearly has a limited scope but as a foundation and community, we are more than a single event. I feel that Incorporating the best of breed into our foundation Conduct document, along with requiring participants of the OpenStack summit to respect the code of conduct, even if they are not members of the foundation.
An ombuds would be very useful.

I'd love to see something added about consequences of violating the code as well.

Thanks David for bringing it to the mailing list. I can help in any way needed. One bit of input, I'm not sure wording as strong as "anti-harrassment policy" is required, though that's at the heart of it. We can probably follow in PyCon's footsteps with a Code of Conduct for conferences, [1] which refers to the Ada Initiative's wiki. [2] Also, as a gentle reminder (ha!) as members of the community, we do have a code of conduct in place already [3]. I'd like to ensure we carry some processes for ensuring we all are welcomed at Summits and have a safety net for reporting and correcting issues.

I think a good place to start would be an official anti-harassment policy and a process for people to report issues to the event organizers who can then deal with the issue appropriately. I am happy to help with the drafting of both the policy and the process.
