+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making 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, 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 both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. 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 project team at [email protected]. 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.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+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

+# Contributing
+
+We'd love for you to contribute to our source code and to make our project even better than it is
+today! Here are the guidelines we'd like you to follow:
+
+* [Code of Conduct](#coc)
+* [Questions and Problems](#question)
+* [Issues and Bugs](#issue)
+* [Feature Requests](#feature)
+* [Issue Submission Guidelines](#submit)
+* [Pull Request Submission Guidelines](#submit-pr)
+* [Signing the CLA](#cla)
+
+## <a name="coc"></a> Code of Conduct
+
+Help us keep our community open-minded and inclusive. Please read and follow our [Code of Conduct][coc].
+
+## <a name="requests"></a> Questions, Bugs, Features
+
+### <a name="question"></a> Got a Question or Problem?
+
+Do not open issues for general support questions as we want to keep GitHub issues for bug reports
+and feature requests. You've got much better chances of getting your question answered on dedicated
+support platforms, the best being [Stack Overflow][stackoverflow].
+
+Stack Overflow is a much better place to ask questions since:
+
+- there are thousands of people willing to help on Stack Overflow
+- questions and answers stay available for public viewing so your question / answer might help
+  someone else
+- Stack Overflow's voting system assures that the best answers are prominently visible.
+
+To save your and our time, we will systematically close all issues that are requests for general
+support and redirect people to the section you are reading right now.
+
+### <a name="issue"></a> Found an Issue or Bug?
+
+If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by submitting an issue to our
+[GitHub Repository][github]. Even better, you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.
+
+### <a name="feature"></a> Missing a Feature?
+
+You can request a new feature by submitting an issue to our [GitHub Repository][github-issues].
+
+If you would like to implement a new feature then consider what kind of change it is:
+
+* **Major Changes** that you wish to contribute to the project should be discussed first in an
+  [GitHub issue][github-issues] that clearly outlines the changes and benefits of the feature.
+* **Small Changes** can directly be crafted and submitted to the [GitHub Repository][github]
+  as a Pull Request. See the section about [Pull Request Submission Guidelines](#submit-pr).
+
+## <a name="submit"></a> Issue Submission Guidelines
+
+Before you submit your issue search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.
+
+If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize
+the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues.
+
+The "[new issue][github-new-issue]" form contains a number of prompts that you should fill out to
+make it easier to understand and categorize the issue.
+
+## <a name="submit-pr"></a> Pull Request Submission Guidelines
+
+By submitting a pull request for a code or doc contribution, you need to have the right
+to grant your contribution's copyright license to ProcessOne. Please check [ProcessOne CLA][cla]
+for details.
+
+Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:
+
+* Search [GitHub][github-pr] for an open or closed Pull Request
+  that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
+* Make your changes in a new git branch:
+
+    ```shell
+    git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
+    ```
+* Test your changes and, if relevant, expand the automated test suite.
+* Create your patch commit, including appropriate test cases.
+* If the changes affect public APIs, change or add relevant documentation.
+* Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message.
+
+    ```shell
+    git commit -a
+    ```
+  Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
+
+* Push your branch to GitHub:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push origin my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* In GitHub, send a pull request to `master` branch. This will trigger the continuous integration and run the test.
+We will also notify you if you have not yet signed the [contribution agreement][cla].
+
+* If you find that the continunous integration has failed, look into the logs to find out
+if your changes caused test failures, the commit message was malformed etc. If you find that the
+tests failed or times out for unrelated reasons, you can ping a team member so that the build can be
+restarted.
+
+* If we suggest changes, then:
+
+  * Make the required updates.
+  * Test your changes and test cases.
+  * Commit your changes to your branch (e.g. `my-fix-branch`).
+  * Push the changes to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request).
+
+    You can also amend the initial commits and force push them to the branch.
+
+    ```shell
+    git rebase master -i
+    git push origin my-fix-branch -f
+    ```
+
+    This is generally easier to follow, but separate commits are useful if the Pull Request contains
+    iterations that might be interesting to see side-by-side.
+
+That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
+
+## <a name="cla"></a> Signing the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
+
+Upon submitting a Pull Request, we will ask you to sign our CLA if you haven't done
+so before. It's a quick process, we promise, and you will be able to do it all online
+
+You can read [ProcessOne Contribution License Agreement][cla] in PDF.
+
+This is part of the legal framework of the open-source ecosystem that adds some red tape,
+but protects both the contributor and the company / foundation behind the project. It also
+gives us the option to relicense the code with a more permissive license in the future.
