# How to Contribute
This repository is owned by the [Accellera Systems Initiative][1] and
is maintained by the [SystemC Language Working Group][2] (LWG)
according to the [Accellera Policies and Procedures][3].
**Contributions to this reference implementation can only be
accepted from Accellera members.**
### Join the Accellera SystemC Language Working Group
If you would like to contribute to the development of SystemC and/or this
reference implementation, have your company, organization, or university
join Accellera and its working groups.
Find out more information at http://www.accellera.org/about/join.
If your company, organization or university is already an Accellera member,
you can create an account [here][6] and once logged in, request to
[join the SystemC Language Working Group][4] by clicking on the "Join"
button of the SystemC Language Working Group (LWG) section.
### Join the SystemC community
If you are not an Accellera member, please join the **[SystemC community
forum][5]** to provide feedback, report bugs and join the general
discussion around the evolution of SystemC.
## Issue reporting
You can post the bugs and suggestions of general interest to the
[SystemC Community Forum][5]. When reporting bugs, please specify
the following information (if applicable):
1. SystemC version
2. platform, compiler, flags
3. description of the problem
4. steps to reproduce the problem
5. compile/runtime warnings and errors
6. code sample, not more than 100 lines to demonstrate the problem
> **Note**
> All bugs will only be tested against the latest publicly available
> version of the product.
> **Note**
> All C++ compilers that SystemC supports have bugs of different
> degree of severity. We cannot fix those bugs.
> Please report them to the compiler vendor.
Accellera working group members have access to the internal issue tracking
at GitHub, as described [here][7].
## Patch submission
The following **sign-off procedure** is established to ensure that
patches submitted for inclusion into this Accellera reference
implementation are properly licensed under the
[Apache License Version 2.0](LICENSE).
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch (or commit message), which certifies that you wrote it yourself
or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch:

the right to submit it under the Apache License Version 2.0
(see LICENSE).
2. The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person
who certified (1) above, and I am forwarding it without
modification.
3. I understand and agree that this Accellera project and the
contribution are public and that a record of the contribution
(including all personal information I submit with it, including
my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed
in accordance with this project or the Apache License Version 2.0.

contribution may be considered by the Accellera WGs for inclusion.
An Accellera member may submit it to the private repository with their
own `Signed-off-by` line appended. It stays under the sole governance
of the corresponding WGs to decide whether the proposal will be included
in the reference implementation (or future Accellera standards).

implementation is hosted in two repositories at [GitHub][9].
