Get involved and Contribute via forums, edit the documentation, work on the issue tracker, and submit pull requests on Github.

Once you're actively contributing, one of our Team members may invite you to be a committer (after a vote has been called). When that happens, if you accept, the following process begins.

Note that becoming a committer is not just about submitting some pull requests; it is also about helping with the development and user Discussion Forums, helping with documentation, and working on the issue tracker.

Steps to Becoming a Contributor to Documentation and Source Code

  1. Fill out and submit the Codice Individual Contributor License Agreement. 
  2. Submit a pull request with desired changes (for source code only).

Getting Started on Development

See the /wiki/spaces/DDF27x/pages/1179898 for developer tips and information about contributing your changes and source code formatting.

Getting Karma on JIRA and Confluence

After being an active participant, you can mail the dev list and request JIRA/Confluence karma. We can then grant the necessary karma, so you can start working on JIRA issues and editing the wiki.
