+As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community,
+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, religion, or nationality.
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

+* The use of sexualized language or imagery
+* Personal attacks
+* Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses,
+  without explicit permission
+* Other unethical or 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, or to ban temporarily or permanently
+any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles
+to every aspect of managing this project. Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be
+permanently removed from the project team.

+the project or its community.
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting a project maintainer
+at spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.  All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response
+that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances.  Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality
+with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the http://contributor-covenant.org[Contributor Covenant], version 1.3.0,
+available at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/[contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/].
