+
+We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project.
+There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
+
+Contributor License Agreement
+-----------------------------
+
+Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor
+License Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your

+your contributions as part of the project. Head over to
+https://cla.developers.google.com/ to see your current agreements on

+All submissions, including submissions by project members, require
+review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult `GitHub
+Help <https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/>`__ for more
