-=== Pull Requests
-
-Spring Cloud is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license,
-and follows a very standard Github development process, using Github
-tracker for issues and merging pull requests into master. If you want
-to contribute even something trivial please do not hesitate, but
-follow the guidelines below.
-
-==== Sign the Contributor License Agreement
-Before we accept a non-trivial patch or pull request we will need you
-to sign the
-https://support.springsource.com/spring_committer_signup[contributor's
-agreement].  Signing the contributor's agreement does not grant anyone
-commit rights to the main repository, but it does mean that we can
-accept your contributions, and you will get an author credit if we do.
-Active contributors might be asked to join the core team, and given
-the ability to merge pull requests.
-
-==== Code Conventions and Housekeeping
-None of these is essential for a pull request, but they will all help.  They can also be
-added after the original pull request but before a merge.
-
-* Use the Spring Framework code format conventions. If you use Eclipse and you follow
-  the ``Importing into eclipse'' instructions below you should get project specific
-  formatting automatically. You can also import formatter settings using the
-  `eclipse-code-formatter.xml` file from the `eclipse` folder. If using IntelliJ, you can
-  use the http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546[Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin]
-  to import the same file.
-* Make sure all new `.java` files to have a simple Javadoc class comment with at least an
-  `@author` tag identifying you, and preferably at least a paragraph on what the class is
-  for.
-* Add the ASF license header comment to all new `.java` files (copy from existing files
-  in the project)
-* Add yourself as an `@author` to the .java files that you modify substantially (more
-  than cosmetic changes).
-* Add some Javadocs and, if you change the namespace, some XSD doc elements.
-* A few unit tests would help a lot as well -- someone has to do it.
-* If no-one else is using your branch, please rebase it against the current master (or
-  other target branch in the main project).
