+# Contributor Covenant 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
+[INSERT CONTACT METHOD].
+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.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 2.1, available at
+[https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct.html][v2.1].
+
+Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by
+[Mozilla's code of conduct enforcement ladder][mozilla coc].

+For answers to common questions about this code of conduct, see the FAQ at
+[https://www.contributor-covenant.org/faq][faq]. Translations are available at

+# XOAPModuleTemplateDSC
+
+This repository is a template that can be used as a starting point for creating new DSC modules and resources.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+This project has adopted this [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+## Contributing
+
+Please check out common DSC Community [contributing guidelines](https://dsccommunity.org/guidelines/contributing).
+
+## Change log
+
+A full list of changes in each version can be found in the [change log](CHANGELOG.md).
+
+## Documentation
+
+This script is used to easily create new DSC modules and resources.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Please install Plaster first and make sure it's present.
+
+```powershell
+Install-Module Plaster
+Import-Module Plaster
+```
+
+## Create new DSC modules
+
+Modules will be automatically created once you are creating a new DSC resource.
+
+## Create new DSC resources
+
+DSC resources can easily be deployed via the invocation of
+
+```powershell
+.\New-CompositeResource.ps1
+```
+
+with parameters
+
+```powershell
+.\New-CompositeResource.ps1 -Module XOAPModuleTemplateDSC -Version 0.0.1 -Resource ScheduledTasks
+```
+
+The parameter list is as followed:
+
+| Parameter | Description                            | Note |
+|-----------|----------------------------------------|------|
+| Module    | Name of the outer module part          | -    |
+| Version   | Target version of the module           | -    |
+| Ressource | The name of the ressource /config part | -    |
+
+### Examples
+
+You can review the [Examples](/Examples/Resources) directory in the **XOAPModuleTemplateDSC** module
+for some general use scenarios for all the resources that are in the module.

+## Security
+
+XOAP takes the security of our modules seriously, which includes all source code repositories managed through our GitHub organization.
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any XOAP owned repository, please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them to one or several members of the XOAP organization.
+The easiest way to do so is to send us a direct message via Twitter.
+
+You should receive a response within 48 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up to other members of the community.
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+
+- Type of issue
+- Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
+- The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
+- Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
+- Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+- Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+- Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
+
+## Preferred Languages
+
+We prefer all communications to be in English.
