[Osmf-talk] Proposal - OSMF Should Adopt a Code of Conduct

[Rory McCann]

🙂I think many (all?) OSM communities should have a CoC. You could copy
the diversity-talk mailing list one (which I mod), which is from Geek
Feminism. I'm willing to help in this regard (unless I'm too
undiplomatic 😉). My email inbox is open if you have questions about why
to have CoC/persuade me I'm wrong.
