Contributions to Vela are very much welcomed!
Vela requires Python 3.6 to run. However, it is written using only version 3.5 language constructs with the addition of Enums (hence requiring 3.6 to run). The aim is to maintain this in order to aid compatibility with other tools.
In order to submit a contribution please submit a Change Request (CR) to the Vela Gerrit Server. To do this you will need to sign-in to the platform using a GitHub account.

All contributions go through a code review process. Only submissions that are approved and verified by this process will be accepted. Code reviews are performed using the Vela Gerrit Server.
