+Code of conduct
+===============
+
+The community of participants in the open-source mKTL project is made up of
+members from around the globe with a diverse set of skills, personalities, and
+experiences. It is through these differences that our community experiences
+success and continued growth. We expect everyone in our community to follow
+these guidelines when interacting with others both inside and outside of our
+community. Our goal is to maintain a community that is positive, inclusive,
+successful, and growing.
+
+As members of the community,
+
+- We pledge to treat all people with respect and provide a harassment- and
+  bullying-free environment, regardless of sex, sexual orientation and/or gender
+  identity, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, nationality,
+  ethnicity, and religion. In particular, sexual language and imagery, sexist,
+  racist, or otherwise exclusionary jokes are not appropriate.
+
+- We pledge to respect the work of others by recognizing acknowledgment/citation
+  requests of original authors. As authors, we pledge to be explicit about how
+  we want our own work to be cited or acknowledged.
+
+- We pledge to welcome those interested in joining the community, and realize
+  that including people with a variety of opinions and backgrounds will only
+  serve to enrich our community. In particular, discussions relating to
+  pros/cons of various technologies, programming languages, and so on are
+  welcome, but these should be done with respect, taking proactive measures to
+  ensure that all participants are heard and feel confident that they can freely
+  express their opinions.
+
+- We pledge to welcome questions and answer them respectfully, paying particular
+  attention to those new to the community. We pledge to provide respectful
+  criticisms and feedback in forums, especially in discussion threads resulting
+  from code contributions.
+
+- We pledge to be conscientious of the perceptions of the wider community and to
+  respond to criticism respectfully. We will strive to model behaviors that
+  encourage productive debate and disagreement, both within our community and
+  where we are criticized. We will treat those outside our community with the
+  same respect as people within our community.
+
+- We pledge to help the entire community follow the code of conduct and to not
+  remain silent when we see or experience violations. Reported violations will
+  be acted upon in a timely manner. Code-of-conduct violations can be reported
+  by contacting any mKTL maintainer. All communications regarding such
+  violations will be treated with the strictest confidence.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all mKTL community situations online and
+offline, including mailing lists, forums, social media, conferences, meetings,
+associated social events, and one-to-one interactions.
+
+Project maintainers will decide as a group on how to proceed in response to
+any reports. Resulting consequences can include revocation of contributor
+and/or maintainer status; additional consequences may occur at the discretion
+of the reported person's current employer.
