-# opentelemetry-cpp-contrib
+# OpenTelemetry C++ Contrib
+
+This repository contains set of components extending functionality of the
+OpenTelemetry SDK. Instrumentation libraries, exporters, and other components
+can find their home here.
+
+## Contributing
+
+For information on how to contribute, consult [the contributing
+guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+## Support
+
+This repository accepts public contributions. Individual components are
+developed by numerous contributors. Approvers and maintainers of the main
+OpenTelemetry C++ SDK repository are not expected to directly contribute
+to every component.
+
+GitHub `CODEOWNER`S file is a simple way to automate away some of the pain
+associated with the review system on github, by automatically assigning
+reviewers to a pull request based on which files were modified. Individual
+components are encouraged to propose changes to `CODEOWNER`S file following
+the process [described here](https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/about-code-owners).
+
+This repository is great for community supported components. Vendor specific
+code that requires a higher supportability guarantees needs to be placed in
+vendor's repository. Packages in vendor repositories would be prefixed with the
+vendor name to signify the difference from community-supported components.
