[OSGeo-Conf] Code of conduct - definition of "sexualized images"

[Camille Acey]

Cameron,

There is no sort of militant force attached to the CoC. CoC just
establishes a process for complaint and some structure around handling
issues that may arise. No one is being ejected from any conference on sight
of Bill Gates's come hither eyes or that woman in her pajama top, and I
think implying such is rather hyperbolic.
