+# Code of Conduct
+This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in
+our open source projects and communities (community programs), as well as the 
+consequences for unacceptable behaviour. We invite all those who participate to
+help us create safe and positive experiences for everyone. Communities mirror 
+the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to counteract
+the many forms of inequality and abuses of power that exist in society.
+
+## How to behave
+The following behaviours are expected and requested of all community members:
+
+- Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute to the health and longevity of this community.
+- Exercise consideration, respect and empathy in your speech and actions. Remember, we have all been through different stages of learning when adopting technologies.
+- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech.
+- Disagreements on things are fine, argumentative behaviour or trolling are not.
+
+## How not to behave
+- Do not perform threats of violence or use violent language directed against another person.
+- Do not make jokes of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory nature, or use language of this nature.
+- Do not post or display sexually explicit or violent material.
+- Do not post or threaten to post other people’s personally identifying information ("doxing").
+- Do not make personal insults, particularly those related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability.
+- Do not engage in sexual attention. This includes, sexualised comments or jokes and sexual advances.
+- Do not advocate for, or encourage, any of the above behaviour.
+
+Please take into account that online communities bring together people from many
+different cultures and backgrounds. It's important to understand that sometimes
+the combination of cultural differences and online interaction can lead to 
+misunderstandings. That is why having empathy is very important.
+
+## How to report issues
+If someone is acting inappropriately or violating this Code of Conduct in any
+shape or form, and they are not receptive to your feedback, or you prefer not to
+confront them, please reach out to us via [Discord](https://discord.gg/JR6Q8YVWX8).
+
+## Consequences of Unacceptable Behaviour
+Unacceptable behaviour from any community member will not be tolerated. Anyone 
+asked to stop unacceptable behaviour is expected to comply immediately. If a 
+community member engages in unacceptable behaviour, JetBrains and/or community
+organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a 
+temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning.
