Contributor guidelines

The best way to directly collaborate with the project contributors is through GitHub: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/swarm-learning

  • If you want to contribute to our code by either fixing a problem or creating a new feature, please open a GitHub pull request.
  • If you want to raise an issue such as a defect, an enhancement request or a general issue, please open a GitHub issue.

Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.

Note that all patches from all contributors get reviewed. After a pull request is made, other contributors will offer feedback. If the patch passes review, a maintainer will accept it with a comment. When a pull request fails review, the author is expected to update the pull request to address the issue until it passes review and the pull request merges successfully.

At least one review from a maintainer is required for all patches.

Developer's Certificate of Origin

All contributions must include acceptance of the DCO:

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved.
