## How to Submit a Request

## How To Contact Linux Foundation IT For Support
The Linux Foundation provides support through Jira Service. Submitting requests via Jira ensures that they are properly tracked and assigned.

### Submit a Ticket
1. Select Project Support Services

The preferred way to request IT support is by submitting a ticket through the [Jira Service Desk](https://jira.linuxfoundation.org/plugins/servlet/desk/portal/2).
2. Select the appropriate request type
- Choose the most relevant request type for your issue. If the wrong request type is selected, the ticket will be routed to the appropriate support queue for further handling.

Submitting reqeusts via Jira ensures your request is properly tracked and assigned appropriately.
3. Fill in the Required Fields for the Request Type
- Complete all required fields for the selected request type. In the description field, provide as much detail as possible to help us fulfill your request efficiently and in a timely manner.

### What To Include

**Clear Summary:**
A brief overview of the problem you're encountering.

**Detailed Description:**
Provide a comprehensive explanation of the issue, including: Error messages you're receiving (copy and paste if possible) Relevant logs or output Steps to reproduce the problem (if applicable) Links to failing workflows, pipelines, or jobs (if applicable)

**Expected Results:**
Explain what you expected to happen instead of the issue you're facing. The more details you provide, the easier it will be for us to diagnose and address the issue effectively.

### Alternate Contact Method: OpenJS Foundation Slack

For less formal inquiries you can reach out to the IT Operations team channel (#lf-it-support) in the [OpenJS Foundation Slack instance](https://slack-invite.openjsf.org/).

Please note: While Slack can be a convenient way to communicate, submitting a ticket is the recommended method for official support requests as it allows for better tracking and prioritization.


### How Work Is Prioritized
## How Work Is Prioritized

Critical issues resulting in unplanned downtime will be prioritized over other severity types. Please clearly indicate the urgency of your request in the ticket description. Non-critical issues will be addressed according to their severity and order of submission.

### How To Escalate An Issue In Jira

If your issue remains unresolved, you have the option to escalate it directly within the Jira Service Desk. This will bring your ticket to the attention of a senior IT team member.

## Have A Unique Situation?
