+## Submitting contributions
-### Scripts
+1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository and
+ [create a work branch in your fork](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flow/).
+2. Go through the documents mentioned in the [introduction](#introduction).
+3. Make changes and commit. You may want to review your changes and
+ [run tests](#running-tests-and-other-verification-tasks) before pushing your
+ branch.
+4. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/).
+ Give it a meaningful title explaining the changes you are proposing, and
+ then add further details in the description.
+
+One of the repository maintainers will then review the PR and trigger tests, and
+possibly start a discussion that goes on until the PR is ready to be merged.
+This process is further explained in the
+[Pull Request process](docs/pull_requests.md) document.
+
+If you get no timely feedback from a project contributor / maintainer, sorry for
+the delay. You can help us speed up triaging, reviewing and eventually merging
+contributions by requesting a review or tagging in a comment
+[someone who has worked on the files](https://help.github.com/articles/tracing-changes-in-a-file/)
+you're proposing changes to.

-parallel.
+Alternatively to `tox`, one can use
+[`detox`](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/detox/) for running verification tasks in
+parallel. Note that while `detox` may be useful in development to make use of
+multiple cores, it can be buggy at times and produce flakes, thus we do not use
+it in our [CI](docs/continuous_integration.md) jobs.

+# Pull Request process
+
+Pull Requests in the `openshift-ansible` project follow a
+[Continuous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration)
+[Integration](https://martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html)
+process that is similar to the process observed in other repositories such as
+[`origin`](https://github.com/openshift/origin).
+
+Whenever a
+[Pull Request is opened](../CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-contributions), some
+automated test jobs must be successfully run before the PR can be merged.
+
+Some of these jobs are automatically triggered, e.g., Travis and Coveralls.
+Other jobs need to be manually triggered by a member of the
+[Team OpenShift Ansible Contributors](https://github.com/orgs/openshift/teams/team-openshift-ansible-contributors).
+
+## Triggering tests
+
+We have two different Jenkins infrastructures, and, while that holds true, there
+are two commands that trigger a different set of test jobs. We are working on
+simplifying the workflow towards a single infrastructure in the future.
+
+- **Test jobs on the older infrastructure**
+
+ Members of the [OpenShift organization](https://github.com/orgs/openshift/people)
+ can trigger the set of test jobs in the older infrastructure by writing a
+ comment with the exact text `aos-ci-test` and nothing else.
+
+ The Jenkins host is not publicly accessible. Test results are posted to S3
+ buckets when complete, and links are available both at the bottom of the Pull
+ Request page and as comments posted by
+ [@openshift-bot](https://github.com/openshift-bot).
+
+- **Test jobs on the newer infrastructure**
+
+ Members of the
+ [Team OpenShift Ansible Contributors](https://github.com/orgs/openshift/teams/team-openshift-ansible-contributors)
+ can trigger the set of test jobs in the newer infrastructure by writing a
+ comment containing `[test]` anywhere in the comment body.
+
+ The [Jenkins host](https://ci.openshift.redhat.com/jenkins/job/test_pull_request_openshift_ansible/)
+ is publicly accessible. Like for the older infrastructure, the result of each
+ job is also posted to the Pull Request as comments and summarized at the
+ bottom of the Pull Request page.
+
+## Triggering merge
+
+After a PR is properly reviewed and a set of
+[required jobs](https://github.com/openshift/aos-cd-jobs/blob/master/sjb/test_status_config.yml)
+reported successfully, it can be tagged for merge by a member of the
+[Team OpenShift Ansible Contributors](https://github.com/orgs/openshift/teams/team-openshift-ansible-contributors)
+by writing a comment containing `[merge]` anywhere in the comment body.
+
+Tagging a Pull Request for merge puts it in an automated merge queue. The
+[@openshift-bot](https://github.com/openshift-bot) monitors the queue and merges
+PRs that pass all of the required tests.
+
+### Manual merges
+
+The normal process described above should be followed: `aos-ci-test` and
+`[test]` / `[merge]`.
+
+In exceptional cases, such as when known problems with the merge queue prevent
+PRs from being merged, a PR may be manually merged if _all_ of these conditions
+are true:
+
+- [ ] Travis job must have passed (as enforced by GitHub)
+- [ ] Must have passed `aos-ci-test` (as enforced by GitHub)
+- [ ] Must have a positive review (as enforced by GitHub)
+- [ ] Must have failed the `[merge]` queue with a reported flake at least twice
+- [ ] Must have [issues labeled kind/test-flake](https://github.com/openshift/origin/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Akind%2Ftest-flake) in [Origin](https://github.com/openshift/origin) linked in comments for the failures
+- [ ] Content must not have changed since all of the above conditions have been met (no rebases, no new commits)
+
+This exception is temporary and should be completely removed in the future once
+the merge queue has become more stable.
+
+Only members of the
+[Team OpenShift Ansible Committers](https://github.com/orgs/openshift/teams/team-openshift-ansible-committers)
+can perform manual merges.
