+# How to contribute
+
+We want you to be able to help make better devices for healthcare and lab environments, making it as easy as possible to contribute changes.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+There are two ways to get started in contributing to Openpump. If you have found a bug, or have a suggestion, you can submit an issue on GitHub:
+
+* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
+* Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+* Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+
+If you'd like to contribute directly to the code, schematics or designs:
+
+* Fork the repository on GitHub. If you haven't used GitHub before, the desktop client for [Mac](https://mac.github.com/) or [Windows]
+(https://windows.github.com/) makes it a bit easier.
+* Submit a pull request with your new contribution.
