Some specific scenarios:
- For small bug fixes and enhancements, contributed by the original author
of the code, these are best submitted as patches attached to a [Bugzilla
issue](https://issues.apache.org/ooo/)
- - For larger contributions, contributed by a single original author, we
might ask you to submit an [Individual Contributor License Agreement
(ICLA)](http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt) form. This helps

on our [dev mailing list](d...@openoffice.apache.org) so we can discuss the
most appropriate way of processing it.

behind a corporate firewall, we typically require a [Software Grant
Agreement](http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt)
before we can accept the contribution. Again, an early discussion on our
[dev mailing list](mailto:d...@openoffice.apache.org) is recommended.
