## Code Of Conduct | ||
|
||
All community members are expected to adhere to | ||
the [Eclipse Code of Conduct](https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Community_Code_of_Conduct.php"). | ||
|
||
## How to Contribute | ||
|
||
If you want to share a feature idea or discuss a potential use case, first check the existing issues and discussions to | ||
see if it has already been raised. If not, open a discussion (not an issue). | ||
|
||
- For specific technology topics, use [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/features/discussions) | ||
in the appropriate repository. | ||
- For general topics (including project planning, relationship to other projects, etc.) use the [EDC | ||
organization discussions](https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-edc/discussions). | ||
|
||
### Creating an Issue | ||
|
||
If you have identified a bug first check the existing issues to see if it has already been identified. If not, create | ||
a new issue in the appropriate GitHub repository. Keep in mind the following: | ||
|
||
- We | ||
use [GitHub's default label set](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/using-labels-and-milestones-to-track-work/managing-labels) | ||
extended by custom ones to classify issues and improve findability. | ||
- If an issue appears to cover changes that will significantly impact the codebase, open a discussion before creating an | ||
issue. | ||
- If an issue covers a topic or the response to a question that may be interesting for further discussion, it should be | ||
converted to a discussion instead of being closed. | ||
|
||
### Submitting a Pull Request | ||
|
||
Before submitting code to EDC, you should complete the following prerequisites: | ||
|
||
* **DO NOT** submit a PR without first filing an issue (bug) or opening a discussion (new feature). | ||
* Have a thorough understanding of the EDC codebase, including all technical documentation and Decision Records in the | ||
relevant repositories. | ||
* Review the [Eclipse Project Handbook](https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#contributing). | ||
* Review the [EDC Pull-Request Etiquette](pr-etiquette). | ||
* Follow the [EDC Pull-Request Checklist](pr-checklist). | ||
|
||
#### Eclipse Contributor Agreement | ||
|
||
Before your contribution can be accepted by the project, you need to create and electronically sign | ||
an [Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA)](http://www.eclipse.org/legal/ecafaq.php): | ||
|
||
1. Log in to the [Eclipse foundation website](https://accounts.eclipse.org/user/login/). You will | ||
need to create an account within the Eclipse Foundation if you have not already done so. | ||
2. Click on "Eclipse ECA", and complete the form. | ||
|
||
Be sure to use the same email address in your Eclipse Account that you intend to use when committing to GitHub. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Stale Issues and PRs | ||
|
||
In order to keep our backlog clean, EDC uses a bot that labels and closes old issues and PRs. The following table | ||
outlines this process: | ||
|
||
| | Stale After | Closed After Stale | | ||
|:-----------------------|------------:|-------------------:| | ||
| Issue without assignee | 14 days | 7 days | | ||
| Issue with assignee | 28 days | 7 days | | ||
| PR | 7 days | 7 days | | ||
|
||
Note that updating an issue, for example by commenting, will remove the `stale` label and reset the counters. However, | ||
we ask the community **not to abuse** this feature (e.g., periodically commenting "what's the status?" would qualify as | ||
abuse). If an issue receives no attention, usually there are reasons for it. To avoid closed issues, it's recommended to | ||
clarify in advance whether a feature fits into the project roadmap by opening a discussion, which are not automatically | ||
closed. | ||
|
||
### Reporting Flaky Tests | ||
|
||
If you discover a randomly failing ("flaky") test, please check whether an issue for that already | ||
exists. If not, create one, making sure to provide a meaningful description and a link to the failing run. Also include | ||
the `Bug` and `FlakyTest` labels and assign it to an author of the relevant code. If assigning the issue is not | ||
possible due to missing rights, just comment and @mention the author/last editor. | ||
|
||
Be sure not restart the run, as this will overwrite the results. Instead, push an empty commit to trigger another run. | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
git commit --allow-empty -m "trigger CI" && git push | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Note that issues labeled with `Bug` and `FlakyTest` are prioritized. | ||
|
||
## Non-Code Contributions | ||
|
||
Non-code contributions are another valued way to contribute. Examples include: | ||
|
||
- Evangelizing EDC | ||
- Helping to develop the community by hosting events, meetups, summits, and hackathons | ||
- Community education | ||
- Answering questions on GitHub, Discord, etc. | ||
- Writing documentation | ||
- Other writing (Blogs, Articles, Interviews) | ||
|
||
## Project and Milestone Planning | ||
|
||
We use milestones to set a common focus for a period of 6 to 8 weeks. The group of committers chooses issues based on | ||
customer needs and contributions we expect. | ||
|
||
### Milestones | ||
|
||
Milestones are organized at the [GitHub Milestones page](https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector/milestones). | ||
They are numbered in ascending order. There, contributors, users, and adopters can track the progress. | ||
|
||
Please note that the due date of a milestone does not imply any guarantee that all linked issued will | ||
be resolved by then. | ||
|
||
When closing the current milestone, issues that were not resolved within a milestone phase will be | ||
reviewed to evaluate their relevance and priority, before being assigned to the next milestone. | ||
|
||
#### Issues | ||
|
||
Every issue that should be addressed during a milestone phase is assigned to it by using the | ||
`Milestone` feature for linking both items. This way, the issues can easily be filtered by | ||
milestones. | ||
|
||
#### Pull Requests | ||
|
||
Pull requests are not assigned to milestones as their linking to issues is sufficient to track | ||
the relations and progresses. | ||
|
||
### Projects | ||
|
||
The [GitHub Projects page](https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector/projects) | ||
provides a general overview of the project's working items. Every new issue is automatically assigned | ||
to the ["Dataspace Connector" project](https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-edc/projects/3). | ||
It can be unassigned or moved to any other project that is provided. | ||
|
||
In every project, an issue passes four stages: `Backlog`, `In progress`, `Review in progress`, and `Done`, | ||
independent of their association to a specific milestone. | ||
|
||
### Releases | ||
|
||
Please find more information about our release approach [here](developer/releases.md). | ||
|
||
## Contact Us | ||
|
||
If you have questions or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact the project developers via | ||
the [project's "dev" list](https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/edc-dev). You may also want to join | ||
our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/n4sD9qtjMQ). | ||
|
||
The project holds a biweekly meeting on fridays 2-3 p.m. (CET) to give community members the | ||
opportunity to get in touch with the committer team. We meet in the "general" voice channel. | ||
Schedule details are [on GitHub](https://github.com/eclipse-edc/Connector/discussions/1303). | ||
|
||
_If you have a "contributor" or "committer" status, you will also have access to private channels._ |
