Open Stack

Hi Michael,

Good points.  We should probably reach out to the Diversity Working
Group for their input https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Diversity

I'm not particularly familiar with other organization's codes of
conduct or more importantly how they have worked in practice.

Do you have any suggestions for models to emulate (or avoid)?
