| To make a contribution to a TianoCore project, follow these steps.

 | |
|    use in the source control commit log.
 | |
| 2. Your commit message must include your "Signed-off-by" signature,
 | |
|    and "Contributed-under" message.
 | |
| 3. Your "Contributed-under" message explicitly states that the
 | |
|    contribution is made under the terms of the specified
 | |
|    contribution agreement.  Your "Contributed-under" message
 | |
|    must include the name of contribution agreement and version.
