Contributor's Agreement

You are under no obligation whatsoever to provide any bug fixes, patches, or upgrades to the features, functionality or performance of the source code ("Enhancements") to anyone; however, if you choose to make your Enhancements available either publicly, or directly to the project, without imposing a separate written license agreement for such Enhancements, then you hereby grant the following license: a non-exclusive, royalty-free perpetual license to install, use, modify, prepare derivative works, incorporate into other computer software, distribute, and sublicense such enhancements or derivative works thereof, in binary and source code form.

Contributing

When contributing to SIF, it is important to properly communicate the gist of the contribution. If it is a simple code or editorial fix, simply explaining this within the GitHub Pull Request (PR) will suffice. But if this is a larger fix or Enhancement, you are advised to first discuss the change with the project leader or developers.

Please note we have a code of conduct, described below. Please follow it in all your interactions with the project members and users.

Pull Requests (PRs)

Process

  1. Essential bug fix PRs should be sent to both main and release branches (if applicable).
  2. Small bug fix and feature enhancement PRs should be sent to main only.
  3. Follow the existing code style precedent. Use golangci-lint to ensure your code is properly formatted and free of lint.
  4. For any new functionality, please write appropriate tests that will run as part of the continuous integration system (CircleCI).
  5. Ensure the project's default copyright and header have been included in any new source files.
  6. Make sure you have run go test ./... and all tests succeed before submitting the PR.
  7. Is the code human understandable? This can be accomplished via a clear code style as well as documentation and/or comments.
  8. The pull request will be reviewed by others, and finally merged when all requirements are met.
  9. Documentation must be provided if necessary (next section)

Documentation

  1. If you are changing any of the following:

    • renamed commands
    • deprecated / removed commands
    • changed defaults
    • backward incompatible changes (recipe file format? image file format?)
    • migration guidance (how to convert images?)
    • changed behaviour (recipe sections work differently)

Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

  • Using welcoming and inclusive language
  • Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
  • Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
  • Focusing on what is best for the community
  • Showing empathy towards other community members

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
  • Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
  • Public or private harassment
  • Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project leaders (info@sylabs.io). All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Project maintainers, contributors and users who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions with their involvement in the project as determined by the project's leader(s).

Attribution

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4
