[melbourne-pug] Code of Conduct for MPUG

[Simon Cropper]

Hi Javier,

Neither the link [1] in the mail list header or the wiki actually work.

[1] http://2013.pycon-au.org/register/code_of_conduct

If you Google "pycon code of conduct" you get multiple versions from 
around the world. The most appropriate is probably what can be found on 
the PyCon GitHub page [2]

[2] 
https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md

That said I notice that PyCon has a new subdomain for this year's 
conference and the following URL resolves [3]

[3] http://2015.pycon-au.org/register/code_of_conduct

Interestingly, or just to confuse matters, the dialogue on this page 
does not match any of the text referenced above.

In addition, if you go to the Linux Australia page and drill down to the 
code of conduct [4] it reads completely different to what is found on 
any of the fore-mentioned pages.

[4] 
https://github.com/linuxaustralia/constitution_and_policies/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md

As a interested observer, I am surprised that after what seems like 
months of debate someone has not forked one of the PyCon Templates on 
GitHub and modified it to the Melbourne PUG needs.

Cheers Simon
