Contributing Misc and CLA

Miscellaneous

Contributor license agreement (CLA)

When you contribute code, you affirm that the contribution is your original work and that you license the work to the project under the project’s open source license. Whether or not you state this explicitly, by submitting any copyrighted material via pull request, email, or other means you agree to license the material under the project’s open source license and warrant that you have the legal authority to do so.

Please make sure you have signed our Contributor License Agreement (either Individual Contributor License Agreement v1.0 or Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement (“Agreement”) v1.0).

We are not asking you to assign copyright to us, but to give us the right to distribute your code without restriction. We ask this of all contributors in order to assure our users of the origin and continuing existence of the code. You only need to sign the CLA once.

Issue Tags

We use stalebot to automatically tag issues without activity as stale, and close them if no response is received in one week. Adding the stalebot-exempt tag will prevent the bot from trying to close the issue.

Additionally, we try to add tags to indicate the status of key discussion elements:

  • help wanted covers issues where we have not prioritized the request, but believe the feature is useful and so we would welcome community contributors to help accelerate development.

  • enhacement and expectation-request indicate discussion of potential new features for Great Expectations

  • good first issue indicates a small-ish task that would be a good way to begin making contributions to Great Expectations
