# Core Flight System Contributing Guide

So you'd like to contribute to cFS? Below are some guidelines for contributors to follow. Contributions come in all shapes and sizes. We appreciate your help with documentation, unit tests, framework code, continuous-integration, or simply reporting bugs and improvement ideas. We can't promise that we'll accept every suggestion or fix every bug in a timely manner but at the very least we'll respond to you.

## Code of Conduct

### Our Pledge
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, 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 within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces. 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 team at cfs-program@lists.nasa.gov. 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 who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership.

### Attribution
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html

The mailing list is used to communicate any information related to the cFS product such as current releases, bug findings and fixes, enhancement requests, community meeting notifications, sending out meeting minutes, etc.

### Report Bugs
#### Before Submitting a Bug
1. Perform a cursory search to see if the bug has already been reported. If it has and the issue is still open, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
2. Determine which repository the bug should be reported in. If you are not sure, place the [issue in NASA/cFS](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md&title=).

#### Reporting a Bug
If you run into a bug with the project:
1. Open an issue using the bug report template.
2. Describe the issue.
3. Describe the expected behavior if the bug did not occur.
4. Provide the reproduction steps that someone else can follow to recreate the bug or error on their own.
5. If applicable, add code snippets or references to the software.
6. Provide the system the bug was observed on including the hardware, operating system, and versions.
7. Provide any additional context if applicable.
8. Provide your full name or GitHub username and your company organization if applicable.

#### Once a bug is submitted:
1. The project team will label the issue.
2. A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If the team is able to reproduce the issue, the issue will be left to be implemented by someone.

### Feature Requests
#### Before Submitting a Feature Request
1. Review the cFS README.md file to see if your feature is in the major future work.
2. Perform a cursory search to see if the feature has already been requested. If it has and the issue is still open, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
3. Determine which repository the feature should be reported in. If you are not sure, [place the issue in NASA/cFS](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=).

2. The project team will evaluate the feature request, possibly asking you more questions to understand its purpose and any relevant requirements. If the issue is closed, the team will convey their reasoning and suggest an alternative path forward.
3. If the feature request is accepted, it will be marked for implementation.

### Security Vulnerabilities
Please view our [Security Policy](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/security/policy) for more information.

### Pull Requests
#### Ready to Add Your Code?

Follow GitHub's fork-branch-pull request pattern.
1. Fork the relevant cFS component (eg. cfe, osal, psp).
2. Create a new branch in your fork to work on your fix. We recommend naming your branch `fix-ISSUE_NUMBER-<FIX_SUMMARY>`.
3. Submit a pull request to the nasa `main` branch. We recommend creating your pull-request as a "draft" and to commit early and often so the community can give you feedback at the beginning of the process as opposed to asking you to change hours of hard work at the end.
4. Add commits to your branch. Please follow commit message convention: `Fix ISSUE_NUMBER, 50-ish-character-long summary of commit content`.
5. Sign and email the appropriate Contributor License agreement down below to GSFC-SoftwareRelease@mail.nasa.gov and copy cfs-program@lists.nasa.gov.
- Corporate Contributor License agreement : https://github.com/nasa/cFE/blob/main/docs/GSC_18128_Corp_CLA_form_1219.pdf
- Individual Contributor License agreement : https://github.com/nasa/cFE/blob/main/docs/GSC_18128_Ind_CLA_form_1219.pdf

#### Create a Pull Request
1. For the title, use the title convention `Fix #XYZ, SHORT_DESCRIPTION`.
2. Describe the contribution. First document which issue number was fixed using the template "Fix #XYZ". Then describe the contribution.
3. Provide what testing was used to confirm the pull request resolves the link issue.
4. Provide the expected behavior changes of the pull request.
5. Provide the system the bug was observed on including the hardware, operating system, and versions.
6. Provide any additional context if applicable.
7. Provide your full name or GitHub username and your company or organization if applicable.

#### Once a Pull Request Ready for Review
1. Verify the commit message and PR title use the template `Fix #XYZ, SHORT_DESCRIPTION`.
2. Verify there is only one commit message. Squash or amend the commit messages if necessary.
3. Verify that the PR passes all checks.
4. The project team will label the issue and evaluate the pull request in the weekly configuration control board (CCB) meeting. For more information, visit [The cFS CCB Process.](https://github.com/nasa/cFS/wiki/The-cFS-CCB-Process)
5. If the pull request is accepted, it will be merged into cFS.
