+# kOps values
+
+kOps is developed by mutual collaboration; we document our values so
+that we can collaborate more effectively and without conflict.
+
+As part of the kubernetes project, we adopt the [kubernetes community values](https://kubernetes.io/community/values/);
+they are included [below](#kubernetes-community-values).
+
+In the kOps project, we emphasize also:
+
+## Black lives matter.
+
+We stand in solidarity with the Black community.  Racism is
+unacceptable.  It conflicts with [the core values of the Kubernetes project](https://kubernetes.io/community/values/)
+and our community does not tolerate it.
+
+
+# Kubernetes Community Values
+
+Kubernetes Community culture contributes substantially to the
+project's success. The following values have evolved over time,
+pushing our project and peers toward constant improvement.
+
+## Distribution is better than centralization
+
+The scale of the Kubernetes project is only viable through high-trust
+and high-visibility distribution of work, which includes delegation of
+authority, decision making, technical design, code ownership, and
+documentation.  Distributed asynchronous ownership, collaboration,
+communication and decision making are the cornerstones of our
+world-wide community.
+
+## Community over product or company
+
+We are here as a community first. Our allegiance is to the intentional
+stewardship of the Kubernetes project for the benefit of all its
+members and users everywhere. We support working together publicly for
+the common goal of a vibrant interoperable ecosystem, providing an
+excellent experience for our users. Individuals gain status through
+work. Companies gain status through their commitments to support this
+community and fund the resources necessary for the project to operate.
+
+## Automation over process
+
+Large projects have a lot of hard yet less exciting work. We value
+time spent automating repetitive work more highly than toil. Where
+work cannot be automated, our culture recognizes and rewards all types
+of contributions while recognizing that heroism is not sustainable.
+
+## Inclusive is better than exclusive
+
+Broadly successful and useful technologies require different
+perspectives and skill sets, which can only be heard in a welcoming
+and respectful environment. Community membership is a privilege, not a
+right. Community members earn leadership through effort, scope,
+quality, quantity, and duration of contributions. Our community
+respects the time and effort put into a discussion, regardless of
+where a contributor is on their growth path.
+
+## Evolution is better than stagnation
+
+Openness to new ideas and studied technological evolution make
+Kubernetes a stronger project. Continual improvement, servant
+leadership, mentorship, and respect are the foundations of Kubernetes
+culture. Kubernetes community leaders have a duty to find, sponsor,
+and promote new community members. Leaders should expect to step
+aside. Community members should expect to step up.
