+# Clawpack Community NumFOCUS Code of Conduct
+
+As a [NumFOCUS](https://numfocus.org) affiliated project we have elected to
+adopt the NumFOCUS code of conduct.
+
+## The Short Version
+
+NumFOCUS and the Clawpack community is dedicated to providing a
+harassment-free community for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual
+orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, physical appearance,
+body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of community
+members in any form.
+
+Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Behave professionally.
+Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not
+appropriate for NumFOCUS or Clawpack.
+
+All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including
+people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not
+appropriate.
+
+Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly community for all.
+
+## Long Version
+
+You can find the long version of the Code of Conduct on the NumFOCUS website 
+https://numfocus.org/code-of-conduct.
+
+## How To Report
+
+If you feel that the Code of Conduct has been violated, feel free to submit a
+report, by using the form: [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct Reporting Form](https://numfocus.typeform.com/to/ynjGdT?typeform-source=numfocus.org). 
+
+## Who Will Receive Your Report
+
+Your report will be received and handled by NumFOCUS Code of Conduct Working
+Group; trained, and experienced contributors with diverse backgrounds. The
+group is making decisions independently from the Clawpack project, PyData,
+NumFOCUS or any other organization. 
+
+You can learn more about the current group members, as well as the reporting
+procedure [HERE](https://numfocus.org/code-of-conduct).
