Refreshing our Code of Conduct to v2.0

[weiji14]

Description of the desired feature

Our original Code of Conduct was added 3 years ago at 5123e40 by @leouieda on 22 July 2017, and is based on version 1.4 of the Contributor Covenant (see https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct/).

A lot has happened to the world since then, and it is time, as a (bigger) community 🧑‍🤝‍🧑, to put a bit of time into refreshing the document. There is a draft Pull Request to update our Code of Conduct to v2.0 at #673, but please take the time to voice your opinion on what you would like (or not like) PyGMT to look like - in terms of communication style - for the next 3 years (or so).

In particular, I'm hoping to hear what we can do to recruit a broader range of contributors that reflects the diversity of the geosciences community. We're doing good on the international front with people spread out over different continents/timezones, but there are many other dimensions like race, gender, etc, which definitely needs more work. That's enough of me talking, let's hear from some other folks 😄

Just wanted to share this blog post on the "Complexities of Codes of Conduct" at https://reshamas.github.io/the-complexities-of-codes-of-conduct/. in light of a recent incident at JupyterCon 2020. It's interesting in that you get to see all sides of the story. Goes to show how everyone one of us in the open source community, big or small, still has much to learn!

Thanks for sharing @weiji14. I was following the JupyterCon incident and it's well worth a read. I hadn't seen this post yet
