For the following code contribution:
"Member and "Contributor" refer to the GSF member looking to make a feature code contribution. "Chair" refers to the Chair, Co-Chair or other accountable authority within GSF.
- Submit a Public Issue using the Issue Template
- The Issue will be looked at by a Chair and approved.
- The Contributor is assigned an "Approved Reviewer" who will help shepherd the feature into the GSF Repository
- Fork
GSF/carbon-aware-sdk/dev
into a member repository,member/carbon-aware-sdk/dev
- Open a Draft PR from
member/dev
intoGSF/carbon-aware-sdk/dev
using the PR Template - Once development is over, the Approved Reviewer pushes the PR into the "Ready for Review" state
- If the Chair accepts the PR, it merges into
GSF/carbon-aware-sdk/dev
At most once per month. As frequent as possible. We prioritise Security release over Feature release. Documentation release is not restricted.
All contributions to the GSF are tracked through public issues. Please make a public issue and fill out details on the proposed feature contribution. The issue serves as a commitment by the contributor to developing the feature.
The Issue is not a feature request, but tracks expected feature work. Please do not open an issue to request features.
