[LRUG] Ru3y Manor diversity

[Sam Livingston-Gray]

Have you already adopted and published an anti-harassment policy? Tim O'Reilly finally got on board right /after/ OSCON (better late than never), but there should be plenty of search results for stuff to grab; IIRC, there's a good one on the geekfeminism wiki.

Sorry if this is already known and covered; I'm in GMT-7:00 and haven't paid much attention to your events. :)
