+# Code of Conduct
+
+Like the technical community as a whole, this project's team and community is
+made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world,
+working on every aspect of the mission - including mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
+
+Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness.
+To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies equally to
+founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.
+
+This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s
+intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by this project. This includes GitHub and any other forums
+created by the project team which the community uses for communication. In addition, violations
+of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
+
+If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by emailing
+this project's owner.
+
+* **Be friendly and patient.**
+* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities.
+  This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
+  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 considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others.
+  Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account
+  when making decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone
+  else's primary language.
+* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and
+  poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to
+  turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or
+  threatened is not a productive one. Members of this project's community should be respectful when dealing with other
+  members as well as with people outside this project's community.
+* **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves
+  professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other
+  exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
+  * Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+  * Discriminatory jokes and language.
+  * Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+  * Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
+  * Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+  * Unwelcome sexual attention.
+  * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+  * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
+* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and
+  this project is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
+  Remember that we’re different. The strength of this project comes from its varied community, 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. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other
+  doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
