+Like the technical community as a whole, the Insomnia 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 a huge priority, 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 Insomnia project, including Slack, 
+the issue tracker, and any other forums created for the project 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 [support@insomnia.rest](mailto:support@insomnia.rest). For more details 
+please see our Reporting Guidelines

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