While reviewing project metrics for a grant application we realized that although we have a common understanding about how to conduct operations in the Slicer community, we do not have a formalized document to describe it.

The [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) is a short and clear description that captures well how we operate, so we propose to adopt this as code of conduct document for Slicer.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please add a comment to [this pull request](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/5645) till Wednesday.
