# Contributing guidelines ## How to become a contributor and submit your own code ### Contributor License Agreements We'd love to accept your patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles. Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement (CLA). * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA. * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA. Contact one of the [OWNERS](OWNERS) on Slack to access the appropriate CLA and instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to accept your pull requests. ### Contributing A Patch 1. Submit an issue describing your proposed change to the repo in question. 1. The [repo owners](OWNERS) will respond to your issue promptly. 1. If your proposed change is accepted, and you haven't already done so, sign a Contributor License Agreement (see details above). 1.
