+Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+====================================
+
+Our Pledge
+----------
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of
+age, body size, visible or invisible 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.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open,
+welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+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 of any kind
+-  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
+
+Enforcement Responsibilities
+----------------------------
+
+Community leaders 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.
+
+Community leaders 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
+foss@teckids.org. 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.
+
