 Contributors to Recommenders 
 ============================
 Recommenders is developed and maintained by a community of people interested in exploring recommendation algorithms and how best to deploy them in industry settings. The goal is to accelerate the workflow of any individual or organization working on recommender systems. Everyone is encouraged to contribute at any level to add and improve the implemented algorithms, notebooks and utilities.

+# Recommenders Code of Conduct
 
-Resources:
+This code of conduct outlines expectations for participation in the Recommenders open source community, as well as steps for reporting unacceptable behavior. We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for all. People violating this code of conduct may be banned from the community. Our open source community strives to:
 
-- [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/)
-- [Microsoft Code of Conduct FAQ](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/)
-- Contact [opencode@microsoft.com](mailto:opencode@microsoft.com) with any additional questions or comments.
+* **Be friendly and patient**: Remember you might not be communicating in someone else's primary spoken or programming language, and others may not have your level of understanding.
+
+* **Be welcoming**: Our community welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
+
+* **Be respectful**: We are a world-wide community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. Disrespectful and unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:
+    1. Violent threats or language.
+    1. Discriminatory or derogatory jokes and language.
+    1. Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+    1. Posting, or threatening to post, people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
+    1. Insults, especially those using discriminatory terms or slurs.
+    1. Behavior that could be perceived as sexual attention.
+    1. Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behaviors.
+
+* **Understand disagreements**: Disagreements, both social and technical, are useful learning opportunities. Seek to understand the other viewpoints and resolve differences constructively.
+
+* **Remember that we’re different**. The strength of our community comes from its diversity, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
+
+* This code is not exhaustive or complete. It serves to capture our common understanding of a productive, collaborative environment. We expect the code to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter.
+
+## Reporting Code of Conduct Issues
+
+We encourage all communities to resolve issues on their own whenever possible. This builds a broader and deeper understanding and ultimately a healthier interaction. In the event that an issue cannot be resolved locally, please feel free to report your concerns by contacting conduct@lfai.foundation. In your report please include:
+
+1. Your contact information.
+1. Names (real, usernames or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there are additional witnesses, please include them as well.
+1. Your account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a public chat log), please include a link or attachment.
+1. Any additional information that may be helpful.
+
+All reports will be reviewed by a multi-person team and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Where additional perspectives are needed, the team may seek insight from others with relevant expertise or experience. The confidentiality of the person reporting the incident will be kept at all times. Involved parties are never part of the review team.
+
+Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. If an individual engages in unacceptable behavior, the review team may take any action they deem appropriate, including a permanent ban from the community.
+
+*This code of conduct is based on the [template](http://todogroup.org/opencodeofconduct) established by the [TODO Group](http://todogroup.org/) and used by numerous other large communities and the Scope section from the [Contributor Covenant version 1.4](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/).*

 # Glossary
 
 * **A/B testing**: Methodology to evaluate the performance of a system in production. In the context of Recommendation Systems it is used to measure a machine learning model performance in real-time. It works by randomizing an environment response into two groups A and B, typically half of the traffic goes to the machine learning model output and the other half is left without model. By comparing the metrics from A and B branches, it is possible to evaluate whether it is beneficial the use of the model or not. A test with more than two groups it is named Multi-Variate Test.
