Proposed Code of Conduct for Flock

[Tom Callaway]

<START>

Flock is a conference that brings together members of the Fedora
community, new	and old, professional and volunteer, from all over the
world. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to
communication issues and unhappiness. Attendees are required to be
considerate and respectful of each other. This includes, but is not
limited to:

* Refraining from rude behavior
* Refraining from any sort of harassment or discrimination (based on
ethnic background, religion, gender, sexuality, body shape, disability,
geographic location, sports team, preferred operating system, or
anything else for that matter)
* Breaking local laws

Attendees who are in violation of this policy may be subject to	removal
and banning from Flock,	and may	not be reimbursed for any outstanding
expenses.

Please.	Remember that we are all friends and be excellent to each other.

I think that CoC is about as good as a CoC can get.

I would add "Whether an attendee is in violation is at the sole
discretion of the conference organizers." here, and then I think it
looks fine.

I might also add something to the effect of: Firearms, bladed weapons
or other devices that may result in a sudden and rapid increase in the
entropy of the conference are forbidden.

That is actually against the venue's (and I believe state's) policy
and therefore covered under the "local laws" bullet.  FYI:

Might be worth looking at and adding a few things from the pycon one?

https://us.pycon.org/2013/about/code-of-conduct/

In particular it might be nice to have some kind of way to know who to
contact about issues/way to identify staff/etc.
