+# Yet Analytics Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders 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, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+[team@yetanalytics.com](mailto:team@yetanalytics.com).
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+# Yet Analytics Open Source Contribution Guidelines
+
+## Welcome to the Yet Analytics Open Source Community!
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Yet Analytics Open Source projects. It is our goal in maintaining these Open Source projects to provide useful tools for the entire xAPI Community. We welcome feedback and contributions from users, stakeholders and engineers alike.
+
+The following document outlines the policies, methodology, and guidelines for contributing to our open source projects.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+The Yet Analytics Open Source Community has a [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) which should be read and followed when contributing in any way.
+
+## Issue Reporting
+
+Yet Analytics encourages users to contribute by reporting any issues or enhancement suggestions via [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/yetanalytics/lrsql/issues).
+
+Before submission, we encourage you to read through the existing [Documentation](doc/index.md) to ensure that the issue has not been addressed or explained.
+
+### Issue Templates
+
+If the repository has an Issue Template, please follow the template as much as possible in your submission as this helps our team more quickly triage and understand the issues you are seeing or enhancements you are suggesting.
+
+### Security Issues
+
+If you believe you have found a potential security issue in the codebase of a Yet Analytics project, please do NOT open an issue. Email [team@yetanalytics.com](mailto:team@yetanalytics.com) directly instead.
+
+## Code Contributions
+
+### Methodology
+
+For community contribution to the codebase of a Yet Analytics project we ask that you follow the [Fork and Pull](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) methodology for proposing changes. In short, this method requires you to do the following:
+
+- Fork the repository
+- Clone your Fork and perform the appropriate changes on a branch
+- Push the changes back to your Fork
+- Make sure your Fork is up to date with the latest `main` branch in the central repository (merge upstream changes)
+- Submit a Pull Request using your fork's branch
+
+The Yet Analytics team will then review the changes, and may make suggestions on GitHub before a final decision is made. The Yet team reviews Pull Requests regularly and we will be notified of its creation and all updates immediately.
+
+### Style
+
+For contributions in Clojure, we would suggest you read this [Clojure Style Guide](https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide) as it is one that we generally follow in our codebases.
+
+### Tests
+
+In order for us to merge a Pull Request it must pass the `make ci` Makefile target. This target runs a set of unit, integration and/or conformance tests which verify the build's behavior. Please run this target and remediate any issues before submitting a Pull Request.
+
+We ask that when adding or changing functionality in the system that you examine whether it is a candidate for additional or modified test coverage and add it if so. You can see what sort of tests are in place currently by exploring the namespaces in `src/test`.
+
+## License and Copyright
+
+By contributing to a Yet Analytics Open Source project you agree that your contributions will be licensed under its [Apache License 2.0](LICENSE).

 A Learning Record Store (LRS) is a persistent store for xAPI statements and associated attachments and documents. The full LRS specification can be found in Part 3 of the [xAPI specification](https://github.com/adlnet/xAPI-Spec/blob/master/xAPI-Communication.md). SQL LRS is distinct from other LRSs developed at Yet Analytics for being SQL-based and supporting multiple SQL database management systems (DBMSs) like H2, SQLite, and Postgres.
