+==============================
+LLVM Community Code of Conduct
+==============================
+
+.. note::
+
+   This document is currently a **DRAFT** document while it is being discussed
+   by the community.
+
+The LLVM community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful
+community, and we want to ensure that doesn't change as we grow and evolve. To
+that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to:
+
+* `be friendly and patient`_,
+* `be welcoming`_,
+* `be considerate`_,
+* `be respectful`_,
+* `be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others`_, and
+* `when we disagree, try to understand why`_.
+
+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 communicate
+and participate in the community.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the LLVM project or The
+LLVM Foundation. This includes IRC channels, mailing lists, bug trackers, LLVM
+events such as the developer meetings and socials, and any other forums created
+by the project that the community uses for communication. It applies to all of
+your communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things
+you say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you display in these
+spaces. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare
+cases, 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 conduct@llvm.org. For more details please see our
+:doc:`Reporting Guide <ReportingGuide>`.
+
+.. _be friendly and patient:
+
+* **Be friendly and patient.**
+
+.. _be welcoming:
+
+* **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 or lack thereof, and mental and physical ability.
+
+.. _be considerate:
+
+* **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. Remember
+  that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in
+  someone else's primary language.
+
+.. _be respectful:
+
+* **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 LLVM
+  community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as
+  with people outside the LLVM community.
+
+.. _be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others:
+
+* **Be careful in the words that you choose and 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.
+
+  In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Persisting in such
+  behavior after being asked to stop is considered harassment.
+
+.. _when we disagree, try to understand why:
+
+* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
+  technical, happen all the time and LLVM is no exception. It is important that
+  we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that
+  we’re different. The strength of LLVM 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.
