#Contributions to iPyParaView
We're happy to accept contributions to iPyParaView, and just require that you sign off on any commits you make.
A sign-off sits on the last line of the explanation for any code changes you commit, and serves as an affirmation that you wrote the changes you are committing and want to make it an open-source contribution to the project. In more formal terms, your sign-off means that you can guarantee the following:
