+Contributing to Apache Commons Geometry Examples
+======================
+
+You have found a bug or you have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing code is a great way to give something back to
+the open source community. Before you dig right into the code there are a few guidelines that we need contributors to
+follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
++ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
++ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
++ If you're planning to implement a new feature it makes sense to discuss your changes on the [dev list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) first. This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't considered to be in Apache Commons Geometry Examples's scope.
++ Submit a [Jira Ticket][jira] for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+  + Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+  + Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
++ Find the corresponding [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/?query=commons-),
+[fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and check out your forked repository.
+
+Making Changes
+--------------
+
++ Create a _topic branch_ for your isolated work.
+  * Usually you should base your branch on the `master` or `trunk` branch.
+  * A good topic branch name can be the JIRA bug id plus a keyword, e.g. `GEOMETRY-123-InputStream`.
+  * If you have submitted multiple JIRA issues, try to maintain separate branches and pull requests.
++ Make commits of logical units.
+  * Make sure your commit messages are meaningful and in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
+  * e.g. `GEOMETRY-123: Close input stream earlier`
++ Respect the original code style:
+  + Only use spaces for indentation.
+  + Create minimal diffs - disable _On Save_ actions like _Reformat Source Code_ or _Organize Imports_. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change first.
+  + Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff` -- check before committing.
++ Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes, typically in `src/test/java`.
++ Run all the tests with `mvn clean verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
+
+Making Trivial Changes
+----------------------
+
+The JIRA tickets are used to generate the changelog for the next release.
+
+For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA.
+In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number.
+
+
+Submitting Changes
+------------------
+
++ Sign and submit the Apache [Contributor License Agreement][cla] if you haven't already.
+  * Note that small patches & typical bug fixes do not require a CLA as
+    clause 5 of the [Apache License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#contributions)
+    covers them.
++ Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
++ Submit a _Pull Request_ to the corresponding repository in the `apache` organization.
+  * Verify _Files Changed_ shows only your intended changes and does not
+  include additional files like `target/*.class`
++ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.
+
+If you prefer to not use GitHub, then you can instead use
+`git format-patch` (or `svn diff`) and attach the patch file to the JIRA issue.

+Contributing to Apache Commons Geometry JMH Benchmark
+======================
+
+You have found a bug or you have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing code is a great way to give something back to
+the open source community. Before you dig right into the code there are a few guidelines that we need contributors to
+follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
++ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
++ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
++ If you're planning to implement a new feature it makes sense to discuss your changes on the [dev list](https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html) first. This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't considered to be in Apache Commons Geometry JMH Benchmark's scope.
++ Submit a [Jira Ticket][jira] for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+  + Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+  + Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
++ Find the corresponding [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/?query=commons-),
+[fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and check out your forked repository.
+
+Making Changes
+--------------
+
++ Create a _topic branch_ for your isolated work.
+  * Usually you should base your branch on the `master` or `trunk` branch.
+  * A good topic branch name can be the JIRA bug id plus a keyword, e.g. `GEOMETRY-123-InputStream`.
+  * If you have submitted multiple JIRA issues, try to maintain separate branches and pull requests.
++ Make commits of logical units.
+  * Make sure your commit messages are meaningful and in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
+  * e.g. `GEOMETRY-123: Close input stream earlier`
++ Respect the original code style:
+  + Only use spaces for indentation.
+  + Create minimal diffs - disable _On Save_ actions like _Reformat Source Code_ or _Organize Imports_. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change first.
+  + Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff` -- check before committing.
++ Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes, typically in `src/test/java`.
++ Run all the tests with `mvn clean verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
+
+Making Trivial Changes
+----------------------
+
+The JIRA tickets are used to generate the changelog for the next release.
+
+For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA.
+In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number.
+
+
+Submitting Changes
+------------------
+
++ Sign and submit the Apache [Contributor License Agreement][cla] if you haven't already.
+  * Note that small patches & typical bug fixes do not require a CLA as
+    clause 5 of the [Apache License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#contributions)
+    covers them.
++ Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
++ Submit a _Pull Request_ to the corresponding repository in the `apache` organization.
+  * Verify _Files Changed_ shows only your intended changes and does not
+  include additional files like `target/*.class`
++ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.
+
+If you prefer to not use GitHub, then you can instead use
+`git format-patch` (or `svn diff`) and attach the patch file to the JIRA issue.

+        We recommend you use a mirror to download our release
+        builds, but you <strong>must</strong> <a href="https://www.apache.org/info/verification.html">verify the integrity</a> of
+        the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main
+        distribution directories. Recent releases (48 hours) may not yet
+        be available from all the mirrors.

+
+      <p>
+        You are currently using <b>[preferred]</b>.  If you
+        encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another
+        mirror.  If all mirrors are failing, there are <i>backup</i>
+        mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that should be
+        available.
