+# 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. 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
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant], version 1.4,
+available at https://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4

+# Contributing
+
+First off - Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Open OnDemand project!
+
+There is no pull request too small! Everything from simple misspellings to very
+large feature requests are welcome. If you're not quite sure where to get started
+you can search our list of [good first issues].
+
+Please note we have a [code of conduct], please follow it in all your
+interactions with the project.
+
+## Issues
+
+Issues, bug reports, questions and feature requests are always welcome. Feel
+free to open an issue and use any [issue labels] as appropriate.
+
+We mostly use [Discourse] for general questions or help. If you're unsure
+of where to route your question, Discourse may be the best forum for it.
+
+## Other Repositories
+
+There are other repositories to Open OnDemand that are important as well. You may want to check
+these out too.
+
+* [repository for the Open OnDemand website](https://github.com/OSC/openondemand.org)
+* [repository for the Open OnDemand documentation](https://github.com/OSC/ood-documentation)
+* [repository for the Open OnDemand core library](https://github.com/OSC/ood_core)
+
+## Pull Request Process
+
+If you have a large feature it may be preferential to open an issue and discuss
+it first before putting a lot of work into coding something that may not be accepted. Don't
+let this discourage you though! Feel free to open tickets and engage with the development
+team on proposed changes.
+
+1. [Fork this repo].
+2. Branch off of the master branch.
+3. Create a PR to merge into the master upstream branch. Make sure at least
+ unit tests continue to pass by executing `rake test`.
+4. We will review it and either add comments for requested changes or merge.
+ If changes are being requested, don't let this discourage you! This is a
+ natural part of getting changes right and ensuring quality in what we're building.
+
+### Tips
+
+1. Contributions accompanied by unit tests are recommended.
+2. For Ruby code we add [yarndoc] comments above all of our public interface methods as this is used to generate helpful documentation on http://www.rubydoc.info/. We do not yet have adopted a strong style guide for code in JavaScript and Python.
+3. With the PR for the change, add to the CHANGELOG a line under the "Unreleased" section specifying https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/.
+4. Follow best conventions with Ruby coding style. We haven't yet adopted a strict style guide, so unless you are using tabs or 4 spaces instead of 2 spaces you will probably not find an objection from us.

+# Security Policy
+
+This document outlines security procedures and general policies for the `OnDemand`
+project.
+
+## Security Audits
+
+[Trusted CI](https://trustedci.org/), the NSF Cybersecurity Center of
+Excellence, conducted an in-depth vulnerability assessment of Open OnDemand, completing
+it in December 2018. This assessment included a careful review of the code, increasing
+our confidence in its security. The Ohio Supercomputing Center addressed the implementation
+issues (bugs) that were found during this review, producing a more robust revision of Open OnDemand.
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you have security concerns or think you have found a vulnerability in Open OnDemand,
+please contact us directly via [email](mailto:ood-users@lists.osc.edu) on the news list found
+[here](https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/ood-users). Emails sent to it are only seen by
+the core project team.
+
+## Disclosure Policy
+
+When the team receives a security vulnerability, they will generally assign it
+to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process,
+involving the following steps:
+
+ * Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
+ * Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
+ * Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be
+ released as fast as possible.
+
+## Comments on this Policy
+
+If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit
+a ticket, open a [Discorse](https://discourse.osc.edu/) topic or open a pull request.

+# Summary
+
+The web has become the dominant access mechanism for remote compute services in
+every computing area except high-performance computing (HPC). Accessing HPC
+resources, either at the campus or national level typically requires advanced
+knowledge of Linux, familiarity with command-line interfaces and installation
+and configuration of custom client software (e.g., Secure Shell (SSH) and
+Virtual Network Computing (VNC)). These additional requirements create an
+accessibility gap for HPC. To help address this gap we have created the Open
+OnDemand Project [@Hudak2016], an open-source software project based on the
+proven Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) OnDemand platform [@Hudak2013], to allow
+HPC centers to provide advanced web and graphical interfaces for their users.
+
+Open OnDemand is the result of substantial development and integration efforts
+in four key areas. (1) The per-user NGINX (PUN) architecture including
+federated authentication using CILogon, Apache-based web proxy, per-user NGINX
+configuration, and Unix domain sockets for secure server-side communication
+between the proxy and each PUN. The PUN architecture is an original
+contribution of the project. (2) The file browser and file editor which, though
+originally based on an existing open source project, have been extensively
+modified. (3) The terminal, created by integrating an existing open source
+project with minimal effort. (4) Accessibility Apps (Dashboard, Job
+Constructor, Job Status, System Status, VDI and iHPC apps) built using the
+Rails-based AweSim AppKit (which was developed by this team on a previous
+project and leveraged here with minor modifications). The AweSim AppKit allows
+for the development of both workflow and interactive applications and includes
+mechanisms for user-based app creation, app sharing and app publishing. The
+AppKit technology is included as part of the Open OnDemand project.
