+# Contributing To The OpenStack SDK for Go
+
+This SDK provides an SDK to interact with [OpenStack](http://openstack.org) for
+applications written in Go. There are a few ways to contribute to the SDK.
+
+## Bugs and Feature Requests
+
+Bugs and feature requests are tracked in launchpad.
+
+* Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/golang-client
+* Features: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/golang-client
+
+When filing an issue please fill in as many details as possible.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Before contributing to the SDK you will need to get setup to [contribute within
+the OpenStack community](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/How_To_Contribute).
+
+Since this SDK is designed to work against an OpenStack setup you'll need an
+existing OpenStack cloud or [DevStack](http://devstack.org) for integration
+testing and to work with.
