+# Contributing to Thermal Comfort
+Everybody is invited and welcome to contribute to Thermal Comfort.
+
+## Report bugs using Github's [issues](https://github.com/dolezsa/thermal_comfort/issues)
+We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by [opening a new issue](https://github.com/dolezsa/thermal_comfort/issues/new/choose).
+
+## Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code
+
+**Great Bug Reports** tend to have:
+
+- A quick summary and/or background
+- Steps to reproduce
+  - Be specific!
+  - Give sample code if you can.
+- What you expected would happen
+- What actually happens
+- Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)
+
+People *love* thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.
+
