Finding an Issue to Work On

Note that the Layer5 community spans five GitHub organizations. See all in the repository overview.

1. Browse the list of Layer5 org issues bearing the “good first issue” label, “first timers only” or the “help wanted” label.
2. Find an area of interest by perusing the list of projects by repository and technology in the Layer5 Repository Overview.
3. After identifying the issue you wish to work on, check whether it has been assigned or not by taking a look at the assignee section on the issue. If it hasn't been, signal your interest by commenting on the issue, so that it can be assigned to you.

Working on Your Issue

1. Once an issue has been assigned to you, it’s time to get started! Make sure you take a look at the Contributing Guidelines.
2. Be sure to sign-off on your commits.
3. Contributions of all sizes are welcome.
4. If you need some additional help, please join Layer5 discussion forum or find your way to the #newcomers channel in our Slack workspace. Introduce yourself and ask questions.

While Your Issue is Under Review

Be patient. There are a large number of contributors and only a small number of maintainers/reviewers. All contributors are equally important to us, and we'll be sure to get to you as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, you are welcome to engage in the Layer5 discussion forum, join our Slack workspace and take a look at all our projects.
