However, before we can take them, we +have to jump a couple of legal hurdles. + +## Contributor License Agreements + +Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License +Agreement as appropriate. + +* If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you +own the intellectual property, then sign an [individual CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual). +* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, +then sign a [corporate CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate). + +Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and +instructions for how to sign and return it. + +## Submitting a Patch + +1. Sign the contributors license agreement above. +2. Decide which code you want to submit. A submission should be a set of changes +that addresses one issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/google/leveldb/issues). +Please don't mix more than one logical change per submission, because it makes +the history hard to follow. If you want to make a change +(e.g. add a sample or feature) that doesn't have a corresponding issue in the +issue tracker, please create one. +3. **Submitting**: When you are ready to submit, send us a Pull Request. Be +sure to include the issue number you fixed and the name you used to sign +the CLA. + +## Writing Code ## + +If your contribution contains code, please make sure that it follows +[the style guide](http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml). +Otherwise we will have to ask you to make changes, and that's no fun for anyone. |
