+# Ilios Code of Conduct
+
+The Ilios team and community is made up of a mixture of professionals and 
+volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the mission 
+- including mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
+
+Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication
+issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask
+people to adhere to. This code applies equally to contributors, mentors, 
+and those seeking help and guidance.
+
+This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in
+the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of
+us and the technical communities in which we participate.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Ilios project. 
+This includes the Slack workspace, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, 
+events, and any other forums created by the project team which the community 
+uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside 
+these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
+
+If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you
+report it by emailing
+[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+
+
+- **Be friendly and patient.**
+
+- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes
+  and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but
+  is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin,
+  colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex,
+  sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status,
+  political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
+
+- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will
+  depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
+  colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
+  decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be
+  communicating in someone else's primary language.
+
+- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
+  excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
+  frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
+  personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel
+  uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Ilios
+  community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
+  people outside the Ilios community.
+
+- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of professionals,
+  and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or
+  put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior
+  aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
+  - Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+  - Discriminatory jokes and language.
+  - Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+  - Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
+  - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+  - Unwelcome sexual attention.
+  - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+  - Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
+
+- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
+  technical, happen all the time and Ilios is no exception. It is important that
+  we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re
+  different. The strength of Ilios comes from its varied community, people from a
+  wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on
+  issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean
+  that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other
+  doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
