Thank you for contributing to the Open Smart Grid Platform. Please keep the following in mind before submitting code.
Before code is merged it needs to comply with a number of guidelines:
We ask each of our contributors to sign our contributor license agreement (CLA). This has advantages for both parties, it gives you the assurance that your contribution will remain available under the Apache 2.0 license. Meanwhile, you give your code in license to us, so we can add your code to the open smart grid platform. And we know your contribution is entirely your work, so we don't get in trouble with legal issues. Please read the CLA text carefully.
To submit changes to the open smart grid platform branches:
The open smart grid platform's main branch is master. All major releases are tagged in this branch. Development is done in the development and feature branches. We use the GitFlow branching strategy. Find more information on this strategy here: GitFlow
The GitFlow workflow is someone complicated, but it has the advantage that it gives a clear overview of all previous releases and current development and thus helps to collaborate more efficiently. Please follow this strategy in your commits.
Anyone can send in a pull request. Assign a maintainer or other developer with knowledge on this topic to accept/evaluate your pull request. You can view the SonarCube test results at (http://ci.opensmartgridplatform.org/sonarqube/) and the Jenkins continuous integration results at (http://ci.opensmartgridplatform.org)
If your code is a useful contribution and meets our quality standards (see section 3.1), it will be added to the open smart grid platform! Developers are in charge of judging this. Don't forget to update the documentation as well.
