#Contributions to iPyParaView

We're happy to accept contributions to iPyParaView, and just require that you sign off on any commits you make.

Sign your work

A sign-off sits on the last line of the explanation for any code changes you commit, and serves as an affirmation that you wrote the changes you are committing and want to make it an open-source contribution to the project. In more formal terms, your sign-off means that you can guarantee the following:

Developer Certificate of Origin
Version 1.1

Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
1 Letterman Drive
Suite D4700
San Francisco, CA, 94129

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.


Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
    have the right to submit it under the open source license
    indicated in the file; or

(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.

If you affirm all of that, then just add a line like the following to every git commit message:

Signed off by: <YOUR NAME> <[email protected]>

You'll have to use your real, legal name. If you set user.name and user.email in your git config, you can sign off automatically via the -s flag: git commit -s.
