Contributing

Xilinx Inference Server is in active development and many things need to be done so thanks for helping! You can contribute in a variety of ways.

Ways to Contribute

  • Raise issues to report bugs! If you find a bug, give us as much information as you can about your environment, hardware, steps to reproduce and relevant logs. If you can point to the code that’s causing a problem, that helps a lot too!

  • Raise issues to suggest or request new features and changes to existing ones to improve functionality, performance and/or quality. Comment and vote up issues that you think should be prioritized.

  • Submit pull requests against active issues. See Contributing Code for more information.

Contributing Code

The suggested model of contributing new code is to pick an issue (or raise a new one) and comment about wanting to tackle it. This lets others know that there’s active development on it. Then, you can fork this repository, make your additions and submit a pull request for merging. When sending code sign your work as described below. All code is licensed under the terms of the LICENSE file included in the repository. Your contribution will be accepted under the same license.
