Contribution guidelines

OpenTelemetry is an open source project, and we gladly accept new contributions and contributors. Please see the CONTRIBUTING.md file in each SIG repository for information on getting started.

Contributing to the OpenTelemetry Documentation

Individual SIGs may maintain documentation above and beyond what is offered here, but we strive for accurate general guidance on using the project from our main website.

The per-language API, SDK, and “Getting Started” documentation is hosted in each language’s GitHub repository. For more information, see the Mirrored Documentation section of the website repository’s CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Contributor License Agreement

Contributors to this and other OpenTelemetry projects require acceptance of our CLA, managed by EasyCLA.

Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.
