HI all,

A few of us have recently put together a Code of Conduct for OSM mailing
lists as a place to start, and I believe some moderators are going to start
adopting it soon. Here it is:
https://github.com/osmlab/CoC-mailing-lists/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md .

Please let me know how I can help with further CoC work for OSM.

My best,
Mele
