12 The Yocto Project team is happy for people to experiment with the
13 Yocto Project.
14 A number of places exist to find help if you run into difficulties
15 or find bugs.
16 This presents information about contributing and participating in
17 the Yocto Project.

25 The Yocto Project gladly accepts contributions.
26 You can submit changes to the project either by creating and sending
27 pull requests,
28 or by submitting patches through email.
29 For information on how to do both as well as information on how
30 to identify the maintainer for each area of code, see the
31 "<ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#how-to-submit-a-change'>Submitting a Change to the Yocto Project</ulink>"

37 <title>Yocto Project Bugzilla</title>
38
39 <para>
40 The Yocto Project uses its own implementation of
41 <ulink url='&YOCTO_BUGZILLA_URL;'>Bugzilla</ulink> to
42 track defects (bugs).
43 Implementations of Bugzilla work well for group development because
44 they track bugs and code changes, can be used to communicate changes
45 and problems with developers, can be used to submit and review patches,
46 and can be used to manage quality assurance.
47 </para>
48
49 <para>
50 Sometimes it is helpful to submit, investigate, or track a bug against
51 the Yocto Project itself (e.g. when discovering an issue with some
52 component of the build system that acts contrary to the documentation
53 or your expectations).
54 </para>
55
56 <para>
57 A general procedure and guidelines exist for when you use Bugzilla to
58 submit a bug.
59 For information on how to use Bugzilla to submit a bug against the
60 Yocto Project, see the following:
