Add a Spanish version of the Code of Conduct
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
I've added a Spanish version of the Code of Conduct along with some supporting changes to make the repo simpler to navigate.

- Added code-of-conduct-es.md: this is the main Spanish translation
- Added code-of-conduct-en.md: this is the new home for the English version of the CoC
- Refactored the README.md to help navigate to the language versions of the CoC

Why refactor the README? The main reason is that long READMEs often go unread and may be intimidatting to new users. It also helps to be friendly right of the bat. The different links point to the language version but also give pointers on how people can contribute to them.

The Code for America community expects that Code for America network activities, events, and digital forums:
## Code for America Code of Conduct

1. Are a safe and respectful environment for all participants.
2. Are a place where people are free to fully express their identities.
3. Presume the value of others. Everyone’s ideas, skills, and contributions have value.
4. Don’t assume everyone has the same context, and encourage questions.
5. Find a way for people to be productive with their skills (technical and not) and energy. Use language such as “yes/and”, not “no/but.”
6. Encourage members and participants to listen as much as they speak.
7. Strive to build tools that are open and free technology for public use. Activities that aim to foster public use, not private gain, are prioritized.
8. Prioritize access for and input from those who are traditionally excluded from the civic process.
9. Work to ensure that the community is well-represented in the planning, design, and implementation of civic tech. This includes encouraging participation from women, minorities, and traditionally marginalized groups.
10. Actively involve community groups and those with subject matter expertise in the decision-making process.
11. Ensure that the relationships and conversations between community members, the local government staff and community partners remain respectful, participatory, and productive.
12. Provide an environment where people are free from discrimination or harassment.
In Code for America we believe that everybody should feel comfortable, accepted, and safe.

Code for America reserves the right to ask anyone in violation of these policies not to participate in Code for America network activities, events, and digital forums.
For this reason our Code of Conduct is very important and guides all interactions in our event and properties. PLease take some time to read our [english version](code-of-conduct-en.md).

#### Code for America's Anti-Harassment Policy
### How to contribute to this code of conduct

This anti-harassment policy is based on <a href="http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy">the example policy</a> from the Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers.
Our code of conduct is a living document that our community can help change and evolve. There's a couple of ways you can do this:

This policy is based on several other policies, including the Ohio LinuxFest anti-harassment policy, written by Esther Filderman and Beth Lynn Eicher, and the Con Anti-Harassment Project. Mary Gardiner, Valerie Aurora, Sarah Smith, and Donna Benjamin generalized the policies and added supporting material. Many members of LinuxChix, Geek Feminism and other groups contributed to this work.
