+# VillageSQL Code of Conduct
+
+This Code of Conduct is based on the [CNCF Community Code of Conduct v1.3](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md), adapted for the VillageSQL community.
+
+## Community Code of Conduct
+
+As contributors, maintainers, and participants in the VillageSQL community, and in the interest of fostering
+an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who participate or contribute
+through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation,
+submitting pull requests or patches, attending conferences or events, or engaging in other community or project activities.
+
+We are committed to making participation in the VillageSQL community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, caste, disability, ethnicity, level of experience, family status, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, military or veteran status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, tribe, or any other dimension of diversity.
+
+## Scope
+
+This code of conduct applies:
+* within project and community spaces,
+* in other spaces when an individual VillageSQL community participant's words or actions are directed at or are about VillageSQL, the VillageSQL community, or another VillageSQL community participant in the context of a VillageSQL activity.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+The VillageSQL community is open, inclusive and respectful. Every member of our community has the right to have their identity respected.

+
+* 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
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include but are not limited to:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery

+* Retaliating against a person because they reported an incident or provided information about an incident as a witness.
+
+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.
+By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect
+of managing the project.
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be temporarily or permanently removed from the project team.
