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
