+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
+orientation.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team privately at alicevision-team@googlegroups.com. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
+
+## Attribution
+

+available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct/

+Contributing to AliceVision
+===========================
+
+Alice Vision relies on a friendly and community-driven effort to create an open source photogrammetry solution.
+In order to foster a friendly atmosphere where technical collaboration can flourish,
+we recommend you to read the [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+
+Contributing Workflow
+---------------------
+
+The contributing workflow relies on [Github Pull Requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
+
+1. If it is an important change, we recommend you to discuss it on the mailing-list
+before starting implementation. This ensure that the development is aligned with other
+developpements already started and will be efficiently integrated.
+
+2. Create the corresponding issues.
+
+3. Create a branch and start a PR starting by [WIP], like "[WIP] My new feature" so everyone can follow the development.
+Explain the implementation in the PR description with links to issues.
+
+4. Implement the new feature(s). Add unit test if needed.
+One feature per PR is ideal for review, but linked features can be part of the same PR.
+
+5. When it is ready for review, remove "WIP" from the PR name.
+
+6. The reviewers will look over the code and ask for changes, explain problems they found,
+congratulate the author, etc. using the github comments.
+
+7. After approval, one of the developers with commit approval to the official main repository
+will merge your fixes into the "develop" branch.
+
+8. If not already the case, your name will be added to the [contributors list](CONTRIBUTORS.md).
