+# Code of Conduct
+
+> A code of conduct is a set of rules outlining the social norms and rules and responsibilities of, or proper practices for, an individual, party or organization
+
+## Summary
+
+Be kind and do not insult or put down others. Behave professionally. 
+
+These are the values to which people in the community should aspire:
+
+- Be friendly and welcoming
+- Be patient
+  - Remember that people have varying communication styles and that not everyone is using their native language. 
+  (Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.) 
+- Be thoughtful
+  - Productive communication requires effort. Think about how your words will be interpreted.
+  - Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting. 
+- Be respectful
+  - In particular, respect differences of opinion. 
+- Be charitable
+  - Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree.
+  - When we do disagree, try to understand why. 
+- Avoid destructive behavior:
+  - Derailing: stay on topic; if you want to talk about something else, start a new conversation.
+  - Unconstructive criticism: don't merely decry the current state of affairs; offer—or at least solicit—suggestions as 
+  to how things may be improved.
+  - Snarking (pithy, unproductive, sniping comments)
+  - Discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues; this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict.
+  - Microaggressions: brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities that communicate hostile, 
+  derogatory or negative slights and insults to a person or group.
