Code of Conduct

This project has adopted the code of conduct defined by the Contributor Covenant to clarify expected behavior in our community.

And please remember. SixLabors.ImageSharp is the work of a very, very, small number of developers who struggle balancing time to contribute to the project with family time and work commitments. We encourage you to pitch in and help make our vision of simple accessible image processing available to all. Open Source can only exist with your help.
