Code of Conduct Requirement

[droops]

Here is my take on the whole thing.  Right now to be a member of the
group, we need to be in irc, sign up at the ubuntu forums, and sign up
on the launchpad site.  We also have to sign the Coc, which is not
required by any other loco.  Having everyone sign the CoC is not
required for us to become an approved LoCo.  Why are we making people
go through this hassle, and potentially turning folks away?

Most of us have not signed the CoC, and while I don't disagree with
the CoC, I do disagree with it being required for membership.
