+## Working On Issues
+
+Once you have decided to contribute to Podman by working on an issue, check our
+backlog of [open issues](https://github.com/containers/podman/issues) looking
+for any that do not have an "In Progress" label attached to it. Often issues
+will be assigned to someone, to be worked on at a later time. If you have the
+time to work on the issue now add yourself as an assignee, and set the
+"In Progress" label if you’re a member of the “Containers” GitHub organization.
+If you can not set the label, just add a quick comment in the issue asking that
+the “In Progress” label be set and a member will do so for you.
