The Docker project has not currently adopted a Code of Conduct though there is
work being done in this regard. Without a formal Code of Conduct being adopted
by the project, it is anticipated that participants and contributors follow the
generic [contributor covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org) until a formal
code of conduct is adopted.

# Contributor Covenant

As contributors and maintainers of this project, we pledge to respect all people
who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating
documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.

We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free
experience for everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender
identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance,
body size, race, ethnicity, age, or religion.

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include the use of sexual
language or imagery, derogatory comments or personal attacks, trolling, public
or private harassment, insults, or other unprofessional conduct.

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. Project maintainers who do not
follow the Code of Conduct may be removed from the project team.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by opening an issue or contacting one or more of the project
maintainers.

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor
Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.0.0, available at
[http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/0/0/](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/0/0/).
