+We welcome PRs for new features or bugfixes, CI will automatically run automated tests on new PRs. You can also use the scripts/docker-test.sh to debug tests for a particular distribution locally. 
+
+We require that all contributors "sign-off" on their commits. This certifies that the contribution is your original work, or you have rights to submit it under the same license, or a compatible license.
+
+Any contribution which contains commits that are not Signed-Off can not be accepted.
+To sign off on a commit you simply use the --signoff (or -s) option when committing your changes:
+
+```
+$ git commit -s -m "Add cool feature."
+```
+
+This will append the following to your commit message:
+
+```
+Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.com>
+```
