+and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
+appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are
+expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable
+behavior.
+
+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, or
+to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.

+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is
+representing the project or its community in public spaces.  Examples of representing a project or
+community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media
+account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a
+project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting
+the project team. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response
+that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to
+maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.  Further details of specific
+enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face
+temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
