+# How to contribute to a Learning Lab
+
+For Learning Labs, there are a few primary ways to help:
+ - Testing the Learning Lab and then reporting issues in the repo or in the common issues tracking repo
+ - Using the Issue tracker to report issues or comment that you will work on an issue
+ - Updating the content in the Learning Lab repo
+ - Requesting or creating a release
+ - Contacting DevNet to publish new or updated Learning Labs
+
+## Using the issue tracker
+
+For Learning Labs, there are two potential places to track issues, depending on
+whether the repo is a public or private repo.
+
+For public repo Learning Labs, use the issue tracker in the repo. All Learning Labs repos in the CiscoDevNet organization have a topic of `learning-labs`.
+
+For private Learning Labs, use the common Issue tracker in the [CiscoDevNet/learning-labs-issues](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/learning-labs-issues) repo.
+
+For DevNet Express events, use these three Issue tracker repos based on the content track:
+* https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-express-dna-issues
+* https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-express-cc-issues
+* https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-express-dci-issues
+
+Use the issue tracker to suggest additions, report bugs, and ask questions.
+This is also a great way to connect with the developers of the project as well
+as others who are interested in this solution.
+
+Also use the issue tracker to find ways to contribute. Test a lab, find a bug,
+log an issue, or offer an update, comment on the issue that you will take on
+that effort, then follow the _Changing the Learning Lab content_ guidance below.
+
+## Changing the Learning Lab content
+
+Generally speaking, you should fork the Learning Lab repository, make changes in
+your fork, and then submit a pull request (PR). All new content should be tested
+to validate that documented tasks work correctly. Additionally, the content
+should follow the [Learning Lab Style Guide](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/wiki/Lab-Style-Guide).
+
+The [DevNet Writing Guidelines Wiki](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/devnet-writing-guidelines/wiki)
+describes the review and publishing process in detail. Please feel free to request reviews from DevNet contributors you see in the repository and we will review submissions.
