-If you have developed a patch for !VirtualBox which you think could be useful for others and fits within the product's architecture, then you should submit it for inclusion. As a first step, you should execute the [wiki:ICA "Sun Contributor's Agreement"] as described above, which is a very straightforward and risk-free process. Then you should submit your patch to the '''vbox-dev''' mailing list (see the "[wiki:"Community"]" page) along with a description of what it does.

 Please keep in mind that it might take some time to review your patch and integrate it. Also, please expect feedback from other developers on how to improve your patch and address potential issues. We can only incorporate your patch if it does not harm the product stability.
