+# How to Contribute
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+If you have a problem using Netgen/NGSolve consider asking a question in our [forum](https://ngsolve.org/forum).
+
+If you found a bug create an issue in the [Github Issue Tracker](https://github.com/NGSolve/ngsolve/issues). Please be as specific as possible, issues with a reproducible minimal failing example will get more attention than unspecific one liners :)
+
+## Contributing patches
+
+We love and want to encourage community engagement and will review and accept patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few steps to follow:
+
+On your first contribution, to clear any legal questions, we ask you to sign our [Contributor License Agreement](CLA.pdf). Generally you have to sign this only once for Netgen or NGSolve. Please send the signed agreement to <[email protected]>.
+
+Place a pull request on GitHub. From there we will pull it into our internal testing environment and, if approved, merge it into the main codebase.
+
+If you have any questions feel free to ask on the [forum](https://ngsolve.org/forum).
