+title: Alpine Linux Code of Conduct
+---
+
+Alpine Linux Code of Conduct
+============================
+
+This Code of Conduct applies to participants in Alpine projects, such as the
+Alpine Linux distribution.
+
+Diversity and inclusion make the Alpine community strong.  Anybody who wishes
+to participate in the Alpine community are welcome as long as they follow this
+Code of Conduct.
+
+Our goal is to maintain a safe, helpful and friendly Alpine community for
+everyone, regardless of individuality such as experience, gender identity
+and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body
+size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality or any other protected
+categories under applicable law.
+
+
+Community Guidelines
+--------------------
+
+1. The Alpine community is a public space.  Remember that actions influence the
+   public perception of the project.
+
+2. Be respectful, tolerant and forgiving towards others.
+
+3. Do not make things personal and do not take things personally.
+
+4. Avoid foul or abusive language.  As cultural standards differ, what may seem
+   as a very mild statement can be perceived by others as highly abusive.
+
+5. Avoid controversial topics unless directly relevant to the project, unless
+   in an offtopic channel, such as the #alpine-offtopic IRC channel.
+
+6. While conflict is inevitable, please work through the conflict using a
+   neutral third party in a transparent manner, so that all participants
+   understand the resolution.
+
+
+Explicitly Disallowed Conduct
+-----------------------------
+
+1. Discrimination based on, but not limited to, individuality or
+   technological preference is not allowed.
+
+2. Bullying or systematic harassment of other participants is not allowed.
+
+3. Encouraging or otherwise supporting any form of discrimination or harassment
+   within the project or towards specific project participants is not allowed.
+
