+# Community Code of Conduct
+
+**Version 1.1  
+October 21, 2019**
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as community members,
+contributors committers, and project leaders 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
+
+With the support of the Eclipse Foundation staff (the “Staff”), project committers and leaders 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 committers and 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, 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 Eclipse Foundation project or its community in public spaces. Examples of
+representing a project or community include posting via an official social media account, or
+acting as a project representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project committers, leaders, or the EMO.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by
+contacting the Staff at codeofconduct@eclipse.org. All complaints will be reviewed and
+investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the
+circumstances. The Staff is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an
+incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project committers or leaders who do not follow the Code of Conduct in good faith may face
+temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by the Staff.
+
+## 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
