+# Code of Conduct - Unified Planning Library
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
+level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will
+communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at <unified-planning-maintainers@googlegroups.com>.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+## Code of Conduct
+
+This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the
+[Unified Planning Library Code of Conduct](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planningblob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior
+to <unified-planning-maintainers@googlegroups.com>.
+
+
+## I Have a Question
+
+> If you want to ask a question, we assume that you have read the available [Documentation](https://unified-planning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
+
+Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing [Issues](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning/issues) that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.
+
+If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:
+
+- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning/issues/new).
+- Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
+- Provide project and platform versions (nodejs, npm, etc), depending on what seems relevant.
+
+We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.
+
+## I Want To Contribute
+
+> ### Legal Notice <!-- omit in toc -->
+> When contributing to this project, you must agree to the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](DCO.txt): all commits must be signed-off with your real name to signal the adherence to the DCO legal statement.
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### Before Submitting a Bug Report
+
+A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.
+
+- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
+- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the [documentation](https://unified-planning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). If you are looking for support, you might want to check [this section](#i-have-a-question)).
+- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug tracker](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planningissues?q=label%3Abug).
+- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the GitHub community have discussed the issue.
+- Collect information about the bug:
+  - Stack trace (Traceback)
+  - OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
+  - Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
+  - Possibly your input and the output
+  - Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?
+
+We use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:
+
+- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning/issues/new). (Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the issue.)
+- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
+- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the *reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
+- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.
+
+Once it's filed:
+
+- The project team will label the issue accordingly.
+- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the issue as `needs-repro`. Bugs with the `needs-repro` tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced.
+- If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked `needs-fix`, as well as possibly other tags (such as `critical`), and the issue will be left to be [implemented by someone](#your-first-code-contribution).
+
+
+### Suggesting Enhancements
+
+This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for Unified Planning Library, **including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality**. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### Before Submitting an Enhancement
+
+- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
+- Read the [documentation](https://unified-planning.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
+- Perform a [search](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
+- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library.
+
+<!-- omit in toc -->
+#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?
+
+Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [GitHub issues](https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning/issues).
+
+- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the suggestion.
+- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement** in as many details as possible.
+- **Describe the current behavior** and **explain which behavior you expected to see instead** and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
+- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most Unified Planning Library users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.
+
+
+### Code Contribution
+
+Before start coding, open an issue or a discussion on the project [GitHub space]((https://github.com/aiplan4eu/unified-planning) or get in contact with a maintainer (you can use the project mailing list: unified-planning@googlegroups.com)! It is possible that someone else is already working on the same or a related fix or feature!
+
+Moreover, we have to keep a reasonable project scope, so if your contribution is wildly beyond the current capabilities of the library, it is better to discuss the idea with the community and the maintainers to avoid unpleasant situations where we have to reject your code.
+
+When contributing new code to the library, you have to follow the development practices both in terms of code style and practices (Static checks, type annotations, unit testing and continuous integration). Again, get in contact with a maintainer and frequently push your code on a Pull-Request (in draft mode) so that the community can give you early feedback and support.
+
+Remember to sign-off (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documentation/git-commit.txt---signoff) every commit to signal your acceptance of the [Developer Certificate of Origin](/DCO.txt).
+
+
+### Improving The Documentation
+
+We warmly welcome improvements to our documentation (which is kept alongside the code in the main repository). Both stylistic/grammatical fixes and new content are welcome contribution, but please make sure to maintain a professional tone and ensure that the information you provide in the docs is accurate and up-to-date with the current development branch.
+
+
+## Join The Project Team
+
+Everyone is welcome to contribute to join our project! Have a look at the [GOVERNANCE.md](/GOVERNANCE.md) file to understand the project roles and the governance mechanism we established.
+
+In order to become a Contributor, please get in contact with a Maintainer: we are happy to give direct writing access to the project repository to simplify the development of frequent contributors.
+
+Maintainers are selected by the Board of Maintainers from active Contributors, but you can ask the current maintainers to be evaluated by sending a (private) email to the Board of Maintainers mailing list (unified-planning-maintainers@googlegroups.com).
