+=head1 CODE OF CONDUCT
+
+Like the technical community as a whole, the Mojolicious 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 founders, 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 Mojolicious project.
+This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, 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 C<jberger@cpan.org> or other members of
+L<the team|Mojolicious/"CORE DEVELOPERS">.

+=item * B<Be friendly and patient.>
+
+=item * B<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.
+
+=item * B<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.
+
+=item * B<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 Mojolicious community should be respectful when dealing with other
+members as well as with people outside the Mojolicious community.
+
+=item * B<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:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item * Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+
+=item * Discriminatory jokes and language.
+
+=item * Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+
+=item * Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
+information ("doxing").
+
+=item * Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+
+=item * Unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+=item * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+
+=item * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop,
+then stop.
+
+=back
+
+=item * B<When we disagree, try to understand why.> Disagreements, both social
+and technical, happen all the time and Mojolicious is no exception. It is
+important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
+Remember that we’re different. The strength of Mojolicious 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.
