+[[!meta title="Code of Conduct"]]
+
+This Code of Conduct, originally based on [that of
+LibrePlanet](//libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:About/Code_of_Conduct),
+applies to us as participants in any campaigns, projects, and
+communities under the EmacsConf name, and covers our behaviour in any
+related forum, mailing list, IRC channel, wiki, web site, public
+meeting, or private correspondence.
+
+# Rules
+
+## Be respectful.
+
+Respect each another, as well as people outside or new to the
+community. Personal attacks, hate speech, trolling, baiting,
+spamming, and discrimination on the basis of such things as gender,
+race, and sexuality, will not be tolerated.
+
+We are working towards user freedom for everyone, and that includes
+those who do not fully agree with us. Rather than condemning
+individuals for not agreeing wholeheartedly or even disagreeing,
+respectfully try to help them better understand, and try to understand
+their views as well. This requires persistently maintaining our best
+behavior. Frustration from a disagreement or even deliberate
+agitation is not a valid excuse for poor behavior. Differing views
+are a strength for diverse communities, and they should be resolved
+constructively, always with an eye toward finding common ground,
+giving each other the benefit of the doubt, and being cautious of
+misinterpretation. Avoid over-defensive or aggressive reactions and
+try to pacify any disruptive situations as early as possible to
+prevent conflicts from escalating. A productive community makes
+people feel comfortable and welcome.
+
+## Be mindful.
+
+Keep in consideration that our actions directly affect others,
+including colleagues and the public, and reflect on EmacsConf's work
+as a whole. This includes many basic things like asking for help if
+unsure about something, or announcing when we leave a project and
+trying to find others who can pick up where we leave off. We are all
+working together for free software, and the success of our efforts
+depends on our ability to cooperate. Our contributions are all
+valuable and will be built upon by others, and in turn our work will
+depend on that of others.
+
+## Work together.
+
+Aim to make allies wherever possible, and avoid burning bridges. We
+should stand by our strong set of ideals while remaining very
+welcoming as a movement. Collaboration is highly encouraged. Reach
+out to as many individuals as well as existing projects and groups as
+possible. All work should be done as transparently as possible and
+published in a way that enables others to discuss and get involved
+with your efforts.
+
+## Advocate Freedom.
+
+The free software movement is first and foremost a social movement, so
+please be sure to have read our critical documents and understand our
+core philosophy. In accordance with 1-3, please do not be aggressive
+toward others who may not immediately share the same views. If we are
+not encouraging and respectful, we can't hope to gain their support.
+Frame issues and arguments in a way which is conducive to changing
+minds, not alienating visitors. People are unlikely to listen if they
+feel in any way like they're being attacked. They are much more
+receptive to ideas which presented in a positive and constructive way.
+Being respectful doesn't mean sacrificing our core ideals; we should
+always frame the issues we work on in terms of those ideals. That
+means using language that foregrounds freedom, like referring to the
+operating system we promote as
+["GNU/Linux"](//www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html), talking about
+[free software rather than open
+source](//www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html),
+and encouraging people to try [distributions that are fully committed
+to freedom](//www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html).
