+# illumos Project Code of Conduct
+
+## 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 creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+  advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## 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, mailing list posts, 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, including but not
+limited to:
+
+* The illumos [bug
+  tracker](https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/issues)
+* Code review feedback on the illumos [Review Board](https://illumos.org/rb)
+* Project [Mailing Lists and IRC Channels](https://illumos.org/docs/community/)
+* GitHub issues and pull requests on [illumos
+  repositories](https://github.com/illumos)
+
+The Code of Conduct 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 moderation team at [[email protected]][mailto].
+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.
+
+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.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 1.4, available at
+https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
