+In the Nextcloud community, participants from all over the world come together to create Free Software for a free internet. This is made possible by the support, hard work and enthusiasm of thousands of people, including those who create and use Nextcloud software.
+
+Our code of conduct offers some guidance to ensure Nextcloud participants can cooperate effectively in a positive and inspiring atmosphere, and to explain how together we can strengthen and support each other.
+
+The Code of Conduct is shared by all contributors and users who engage with the Nextcloud team and its community services. It presents a summary of the shared values and “common sense” thinking in our community.
+
+You can find our full code of conduct on our website: https://nextcloud.com/code-of-conduct/
+
+Please, keep our CoC in mind when you contribute! That way, everyone can be a part of our community in a productive, positive, creative and fun way.
