Contributing Guidelines

The Microsoft Open Service Broker for Azure project accepts contributions via GitHub pull requests. This document outlines the process to help get your contribution accepted.

Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

The Microsoft CLA must be signed by all contributors. Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement (CLA). Once you are CLA'ed, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.

NOTE: Only original source code from you and other people that have signed the CLA can be accepted into the repository.

Support Channels

This is an open source project and as such no formal support is available. However, like all good open source projects we do offer "best effort" support through github issues.

Before opening a new issue or submitting a new pull request, it's helpful to search the project - it's likely that another user has already reported the issue you're facing, or it's a known issue that we're already aware of.

Issues

Issues are used as the primary method for tracking anything to do with the Open Service Broker for Azure project.

Issue Lifecycle

The issue lifecycle is mainly driven by the core maintainers, but is good information for those contributing to Open Service Broker for Azure. All issue types follow the same general lifecycle. Differences are noted below.

  1. Issue creation
  2. Triage
    • The maintainer in charge of triaging will apply the proper labels for the issue. This includes labels for priority, type, and metadata. If additional labels are needed in the future, we will add them.
    • If needed, clean up the title to succinctly and clearly state the issue. Also ensure that proposals are prefaced with "Proposal".
    • Add the issue to the correct milestone. If any questions come up, don't worry about adding the issue to a milestone until the questions are answered.
    • We attempt to do this process at least once per work day.
  3. Discussion
    • "Feature" and "Bug" issues should be connected to the PR that resolves it.
    • Whoever is working on a "Feature" or "Bug" issue (whether a maintainer or someone from the community), should either assign the issue to themself or make a comment in the issue saying that they are taking it.
    • "Proposal" and "Question" issues should remain open until they are either resolved or have remained inactive for more than 30 days. This will help keep the issue queue to a manageable size and reduce noise. Should the issue need to stay open, the keep open label can be added.
  4. Issue closure
