+# OpenTelemetry C++ Contrib
+
+This repository contains set of components extending functionality of the
+OpenTelemetry SDK. Instrumentation libraries, exporters, and other components
+can find their home here.
+
+## Contributing
+
+For information on how to contribute, consult [the contributing
+guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md)
+
+## Support
+
+This repository is maintained by [.NET SDK
+maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/teams/dotnet-maintainers)
+team and [.NET SDK
+approvers](https://github.com/orgs/open-telemetry/teams/dotnet-approvers) can
+help with reviews and code approval. However, as individual components are
+developed by numerous contributors, approvers and maintainers are not expected
+to directly contribute to every component.
+
+This repository is great for community supported components. Vendor specific
+code that requires a higher supportability guarantees needs to be placed in
+vendor's repository. Packages in vendor repositories would be prefixed with the
+vendor name to signify the difference from community-supported components.
