# Contributing to Dendrite
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to Matrix!
|
||||
|
||||
This is the repository for Dendrite, a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sign off
|
||||
|
||||
We ask that everybody who contributes to this project signs off their contributions, as explained below.
|
||||
|
||||
We follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to license their contribution under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound' license - in our case, this is Apache Software License v2 (see [LICENSE](./LICENSE)).
|
||||
|
||||
In order to have a concrete record that your contribution is intentional and you agree to license it under the same terms as the project's license, we've adopted the same lightweight approach used by the [Linux Kernel](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html), [Docker](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md), and many other projects: the [Developer Certificate of Origin](https://developercertificate.org/) (DCO). This is a simple declaration that you wrote the contribution or otherwise have the right to contribute it to Matrix:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Developer Certificate of Origin
|
||||
Version 1.1
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
|
||||
660 York Street, Suite 102,
|
||||
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
|
||||
|
||||
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 agree to this for your contribution, then all that's needed is to include the line in your commit or pull request comment:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Git allows you to add this signoff automatically when using the `-s` flag to `git commit`, which uses the name and email set in your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs.
