Did we discuss a Code of Conduct?  I might have brought this upon myself
with my "clever" talk title about "Conduct of Code" as an antithesis to
a "Code of Conduct" focused approach of making people get along with
each other.  I actually just received a rejection of a "Conduct of Code"
talk at the Chemnitzer Linuxtage since the organisers thought that
projects "LaTeX", "Emacs" and "LilyPond" were not really suitable as
projects showcasing a "Code of Conduct".  Which was sort of the point.
Nobody reads abstracts anymore.

So maybe I'm responsible for bringing up the idea in the first place
because of being too confusing in my choice of title, and people just
thought "David sure forgets what he promised to be talking about".
