Contributing to Xen¶
The Xen Project welcomes contributions of all kinds — code, documentation, testing, and bug reports. This section explains how to contribute effectively.
Most development happens through the mailing list. Patches are reviewed on xen-devel, and discussion about bugs and features takes place there too. A few sub-projects use GitHub pull requests instead — see Teams and Projects for details.
Note
Before contributing, please read the CONTRIBUTING, COPYING, and CODING_STYLE files in the relevant git repository. Each sub-project may have its own submission guidelines.
Sign-off requirement¶
All contributions must include a Signed-off-by line in the commit message. This certifies that you have the right to submit the contribution under the project’s license, following the same approach as the Linux kernel’s Developer Certificate of Origin.
