We require these test runs to succeed on every pull request before being merged.

### Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
Licensing is very important to open source projects. It helps ensure the
software continues to be available under the terms that the author desired.
Chef uses [the Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/LICENSE) ### Developer Certification of Origin (DCO)
to strike a balance between open contribution and allowing you to use the
software however you would like to.
The license tells you what rights you have that are provided by the copyright holder. Licensing is very important to open source projects. It helps ensure the software continues to be available under the terms that the author desired.
It is important that the contributor fully understands what rights they are
licensing and agrees to them. Sometimes the copyright holder isn't the contributor,
such as when the contributor is doing work for a company.
To make a good faith effort to ensure these criteria are met, Chef requires an Individual CLA Chef uses [the Apache 2.0 license](https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/LICENSE) to strike a balance between open contribution and allowing you to use the software however you would like to.
or a Corporate CLA for contributions. This agreement helps ensure you are aware of the
terms of the license you are contributing your copyrighted works under, which helps to
prevent the inclusion of works in the projects that the contributor does not hold the rights
to share.
It only takes a few minutes to complete a CLA, and you retain the copyright to your contribution. The license tells you what rights you have that are provided by the copyright holder. It is important that the contributor fully understands what rights they are licensing and agrees to them. Sometimes the copyright holder isn't the contributor, such as when the contributor is doing work on behalf of a company.

[Individual CLA](https://supermarket.chef.io/icla-signatures/new) online.
If you're contributing on behalf of your employer and they retain the copyright for your works, The DCO is an attestation attached to every contribution made by every developer.

have your employer fill out our
[Corporate CLA](https://supermarket.chef.io/ccla-signatures/new) instead. ```
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the
best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open
source license and I have the right under that license to
submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole
or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless
I am permitted to submit under a different license), as
Indicated in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including
all personal information I submit with it, including my
sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed
consistent with this project or the open source license(s)
involved.
```
For more information on the change see the Chef Blog post [Introducing Developer Certificate of Origin](https://blog.chef.io/2016/09/19/introducing-developer-certificate-of-origin/)
#### DCO Sign-Off Methods
The DCO requires a sign-off message in the following format appear on each commit in the pull request:
```
Signed-off-by: Julia Child <juliachild@chef.io>
```
The DCO text can either be manually added to your commit body, or you can add either **-s** or **--signoff** to your usual git commit commands. If you forget to add the sign-off you can also amend a previous commit with the sign-off by running **git commit -amend -s**. If you've pushed your changes to Github already you'll need to force push your branch after this with **git push -f**.
### Obvious Fix Policy
Small contributions, such as fixing spelling errors, where the content is small enough to not be considered intellectual property, can be submitted without signing the contribution for the DCO.
As a rule of thumb, changes are obvious fixes if they do not introduce any new functionality or creative thinking. Assuming the change does not affect functionality, some common obvious fix examples include the following:
- Spelling / grammar fixes
- Typo correction, white space and formatting changes
- Comment clean up
- Bug fixes that change default return values or error codes stored in constants
- Adding logging messages or debugging output
- Changes to 'metadata' files like Gemfile, .gitignore, build scripts, etc.
- Moving source files from one directory or package to another
**Whenever you invoke the "obvious fix" rule, please say so in your commit message:**
```

## Release Cycles
Our primary shipping vehicle is operating system specific packages that includes all the requirements of InSpec. We call these [Omnibus packages](https://github.com/chef/omnibus)
We also release our software as gems to [Rubygems](https://rubygems.org/) but we strongly recommend using InSpec or ChefDK packages.
Our version numbering roughly follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) standard. Our standard version numbers look like X.Y.Z which mean:
- X is a major release, which may not be fully compatible with prior major releases
- Y is a minor release, which adds both new features and bug fixes
- Z is a patch release, which adds just bug fixes
After shipping a release of InSpec we bump at least the `Minor` version by one to start development of the next minor release. We do a release approximately every week. Announcements of releases are made to the [InSpec mailing list](https://discourse.chef.io/c/chef-release) when they are available.
## InSpec Community
InSpec is made possible by a strong community of developers, system administrators, auditor and security experts. If you have any questions or if you would like to get involved in the InSpec community you can check out:
- [InSpec Mailing List](https://discourse.chef.io/c/inspec)
- [Chef Community Slack](https://community-slack.chef.io/)
