+
+This page contains information about reporting issues as well as some tips and
+guidelines useful to experienced open source contributors. Finally, make sure
+you read our [community guidelines](#docker-community-guidelines) before you
+start participating.

+
+## Reporting security issues
+
+The Docker maintainers take security seriously. If you discover a security
+issue, please bring it to their attention right away!
+
+Please **DO NOT** file a public issue, instead send your report privately to
+[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+
+Security reports are greatly appreciated and we will publicly thank you for it.
+We also like to send gifts—if you're into Docker schwag, make sure to let
+us know. We currently do not offer a paid security bounty program, but are not
+ruling it out in the future.
+
+## Reporting other issues
+
+A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed report when you
+encounter an issue. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report,
+and will thank you for it!
+
+Check that [our issue database](https://github.com/docker/gen-ai-stack/issues)
+doesn't already include that problem or suggestion before submitting an issue.
+If you find a match, you can use the "subscribe" button to get notified on
+updates. Do *not* leave random "+1" or "I have this too" comments, as they
+only clutter the discussion, and don't help resolving it. However, if you
+have ways to reproduce the issue or have additional information that may help
+resolving the issue, please leave a comment.
+
+When reporting issues, always include:
+
+* The output of `docker version`.
+* The output of `docker info`.
+
+Also include the steps required to reproduce the problem if possible and
+applicable. This information will help us review and fix your issue faster.
+When sending lengthy log-files, consider posting them as a gist (https://gist.github.com).
+Don't forget to remove sensitive data from your logfiles before posting (you can
+replace those parts with "REDACTED").
+
+## Quick contribution tips and guidelines
+
+This section gives the experienced contributor some tips and guidelines.
+
+### Pull requests are always welcome
+
+Not sure if that typo is worth a pull request? Found a bug and know how to fix
+it? Do it! We will appreciate it. Any significant improvement should be
+documented as [a GitHub issue](https://github.com/docker/gen-ai-stack/issues) before
+anybody starts working on it.
+
+We are always thrilled to receive pull requests. We do our best to process them
+quickly. If your pull request is not accepted on the first try,
+don't get discouraged! Our contributor's guide explains [the review process we
+use for simple changes](https://docs.docker.com/opensource/workflow/make-a-contribution/).
+

+    </td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+
+### Conventions
+
+Fork the repository and make changes on your fork in a feature branch:
+
+- If it's a bug fix branch, name it XXXX-something where XXXX is the number of
+    the issue.
+- If it's a feature branch, create an enhancement issue to announce
+    your intentions, and name it XXXX-something where XXXX is the number of the
+    issue.
+
+Pull request descriptions should be as clear as possible and include a reference
+to all the issues that they address.
+
+Commit messages must start with a capitalized and short summary (max. 50 chars)
+written in the imperative, followed by an optional, more detailed explanatory
+text which is separated from the summary by an empty line.
+
+Code review comments may be added to your pull request. Discuss, then make the
+suggested modifications and push additional commits to your feature branch. Post
+a comment after pushing. New commits show up in the pull request automatically,
+but the reviewers are notified only when you comment.
+
+Pull requests must be cleanly rebased on top of master without multiple branches
+mixed into the PR.
+
+**Git tip**: If your PR no longer merges cleanly, use `rebase main` in your
+feature branch to update your pull request rather than `merge main`.
+
+Before you make a pull request, squash your commits into logical units of work
+using `git rebase -i` and `git push -f`. A logical unit of work is a consistent
+set of patches that should be reviewed together: for example, upgrading the
+version of a vendored dependency and taking advantage of its now available new
+feature constitute two separate units of work. Implementing a new function and
+calling it in another file constitute a single logical unit of work. The very
+high majority of submissions should have a single commit, so if in doubt: squash
+down to one.
+
+Include an issue reference like `Closes #XXXX` or `Fixes #XXXX` in the pull request
+description that close an issue. Including references automatically closes the issue
+on a merge.
+
+### Sign your work
+
+The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your
+signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass
+it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify
+the below (from [developercertificate.org](https://developercertificate.org):
+
+```
+Developer Certificate of Origin
+Version 1.1
+
+Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
+660 York Street, Suite 102,
+San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+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.
+```
+
+Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
+
+    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>
+
+Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
+
+If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
+commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
+
+## Docker community guidelines
+
+We want to keep the Docker community awesome, growing and collaborative. We need
+your help to keep it that way. To help with this we've come up with some general
+guidelines for the community as a whole:
+
+* Be nice: Be courteous, respectful and polite to fellow community members:
+  no regional, racial, gender, or other abuse will be tolerated. We like
+  nice people way better than mean ones!
+
+* Encourage diversity and participation: Make everyone in our community feel
+  welcome, regardless of their background and the extent of their
+  contributions, and do everything possible to encourage participation in
+  our community.
+
+* Keep it legal: Basically, don't get us in trouble. Share only content that
+  you own, do not share private or sensitive information, and don't break
+  the law.
+
+* Stay on topic: Make sure that you are posting to the correct channel and
+  avoid off-topic discussions. Remember when you update an issue or respond
+  to an email you are potentially sending to a large number of people. Please
+  consider this before you update. Also remember that nobody likes spam.
+
+* Don't send email to the maintainers: There's no need to send email to the
+  maintainers to ask them to investigate an issue or to take a look at a
+  pull request. Instead of sending an email, GitHub mentions should be
+  used to ping maintainers to review a pull request, a proposal or an
+  issue.
+
+### Guideline violations — 3 strikes method
+
+The point of this section is not to find opportunities to punish people, but we
+do need a fair way to deal with people who are making our community suck.
+
+1. First occurrence: We'll give you a friendly, but public reminder that the
+   behavior is inappropriate according to our guidelines.
+
+2. Second occurrence: We will send you a private message with a warning that
+   any additional violations will result in removal from the community.
+
+3. Third occurrence: Depending on the violation, we may need to delete or ban
+   your account.
+
+**Notes:**
+
+* Obvious spammers are banned on first occurrence. If we don't do this, we'll
+  have spam all over the place.
+
+* Violations are forgiven after 6 months of good behavior, and we won't hold a
+  grudge.
+
+* People who commit minor infractions will get some education, rather than
+  hammering them in the 3 strikes process.
+
+* The rules apply equally to everyone in the community, no matter how much
+    you've contributed.
+
+* Extreme violations of a threatening, abusive, destructive or illegal nature
+    will be addressed immediately and are not subject to 3 strikes or forgiveness.
+
+* Contact [email protected] to report abuse or appeal violations. In the case of
+    appeals, we know that mistakes happen, and we'll work with you to come up with a
+    fair solution if there has been a misunderstanding.
+
