+# 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, caste, color, 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 (i.e. regular contributors and/or those with elfutils
+git commit access) 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, such as the
+elfutils IRC channel, website, mailing list and bug reports. It also
+applies when an individual is officially representing the community
+in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include 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 elfutils code of conduct committee at
+elfutils-conduct@sourceware.org.
+
+The current members of the elfutils code of conduct committee are:
+Mark Wielaard
+Aaron Merey
+
+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.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in
+determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of
+this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+Community Impact: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+Consequence: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+Community Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of
+actions.
+
+Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time.
+This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external
+channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary
+or permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+Community Impact: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+Consequence: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public
+or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited
+interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during
+this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+Community Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+Consequence: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
+community.
