+# Contributing
+
+Thank you for contributing to OpenShift Ansible. This document explains how the
+repository is organized, and how to submit contributions.
+
+## Introduction
+
+Before submitting code changes, get familiarized with these documents:
+
+- [Core Concepts](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/blob/master/docs/core_concepts_guide.adoc)
+- [Best Practices Guide](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/blob/master/docs/best_practices_guide.adoc)
+- [Style Guide](https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/blob/master/docs/style_guide.adoc)
+
+## Repository structure
+
+### Ansible
+
+```
+.
+├── inventory Contains dynamic inventory scripts, and examples of
+│ Ansible inventories.
+├── library Contains Python modules used by the playbooks.
+├── playbooks Contains Ansible playbooks targeting multiple use cases.
+└── roles Contains Ansible roles, units of shared behavior among
+ playbooks.
+```
+
+#### Ansible plugins
+
+These are plugins used in playbooks and roles:
+
+```
+.
+├── ansible-profile
+├── callback_plugins
+├── filter_plugins
+└── lookup_plugins
+```
+
+### Scripts
+
+```
+.
+├── bin [DEPRECATED] Contains the `bin/cluster` script, a
+│ wrapper around the Ansible playbooks that ensures proper
+│ configuration, and facilitates installing, updating,
+│ destroying and configuring OpenShift clusters.
+│ Note: this tool is kept in the repository for legacy
+│ reasons and will be removed at some point.
+└── utils Contains the `atomic-openshift-installer` command, an
+ interactive CLI utility to install OpenShift across a
+ set of hosts.
+```
+
+### Documentation
+
+```
+.
+└── docs Contains documentation for this repository.
+```
+
+### Tests
+
+```
+.
+└── test Contains tests.
+```
+
+## Building RPMs
+
+See the [RPM build instructions](BUILD.md).
+
+## Running tests
+
+This section covers how to run tests for the root of this repo, running tests
+for the oo-install wrapper is described in [utils/README.md](utils/README.md).
+
+We use [tox](http://readthedocs.org/docs/tox/) to manage virtualenvs and run
+tests. Alternatively, tests can be run using
+[detox](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/detox/) which allows for running tests in
+parallel
+
+
+```
+pip install tox detox
+```
+
+List the test environments available:
+```
+tox -l
+```
+
+Run all of the tests with:
+```
+tox
+```
+
+Run all of the tests in parallel with detox:
+```
+detox
+```
+
+Running a particular test environment (python 2.7 flake8 tests in this case):
+```
+tox -e py27-ansible22-flake8
+```
+
+Running a particular test environment in a clean virtualenv (python 3.5 pylint
+tests in this case):
+```
+tox -r -e py35-ansible22-pylint
+```
+
+If you want to enter the virtualenv created by tox to do additional
+testing/debugging (py27-flake8 env in this case):
+```
+source .tox/py27-ansible22-flake8/bin/activate
+```
+
+## Submitting contributions
+
+1. Go through the guides from the [introduction](#Introduction).
+2. Fork this repository, and create a work branch in your fork.
+3. Make changes and commit. You may want to review your changes and run tests
+ before pushing your branch.
+4. Open a Pull Request.
+
+One of the repository maintainers will then review the PR and submit it for
+testing.
+
+The `default` test job is publicly accessible at
+https://ci.openshift.redhat.com/jenkins/job/openshift-ansible/. The other jobs
+are run on a different Jenkins host that is not publicly accessible, however the
+test results are posted to S3 buckets when complete.
+
+The test output of each job is also posted to the Pull Request as comments.
