Looks great.

Thanks, looks great!

Yes, this is very good.

At one point, we had at least one document that combined these messages of honoring diversity with more procedural messages like "Stick to a meetings agenda as much as possible! Write meaningful commit messages!" Where's the best place for that kind of thing now?

How about keeping some ground rules in a Google doc or here in GitHub for these kinds of things. Here is a draft related to meetings:

1. Clear agenda, sent out 1 day before meeting if possible
2. Introduce, welcome new members
3. Don't interrupt people speaking, use the hands-up feature on zoom
4. Shared documentation/notes for other team members and for future, help document decisions needed or made in the notes and/or decision log or in an ADR in GitHub
5. Review next steps, action items in notes and at the meeting
6. Schedule meetings for 50 or 55 minutes to allow a break between meetings, end meetings on time

@turbomam is this what you had in mind?
