All,<br>
There has been a lot of valuable discussion around the development
of an OSGeo Code of Conduct / Diversity Statement earlier this year,
mainly on the OSGeo Conference and OSGeo Board email lists.<br>
<br>
I've researched a number of prior Code of Conduct and Diversity
Statements and combined with OSGeo participant comments to build a
draft OSGeo Code of Conduct, along with references to prior
material, comments, and a list of goals we want to achieve from such
a document.<br>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<br>
I propose that we aim to finalise a 1.0 version of an OSGeo Code of
Conduct/Diversity Statement and provide a recommendation for the
next OSGeo board meeting on 21 May 2015.<br>
<br>
I've set up a Doodle Pole for an IRC meeting aimed at finalising
this Code of Conduct [1]<br>
<br>
If you would like to contribute, please:<br>
1. Read the draft code of conduct [2]<br>
2. Provide comments either in the comments section on the wiki [3]
or on the conference email list [4]<br>
3. Register for [1] and then attend the IRC meeting [5]<br>
