Note to Contributors
Hello and Welcome!
I am eager to work with you. For small changes—trivial bug fixes, correcting typos, and the like—please just submit pull requests to any of my projects. For larger changes, though, I have to ask you to jump through a little hoop.
In particular, in order for me to accept any medium or large size patches from you, you will have to electronically sign a statement that indicates two things:
-
You are willingly licensing your contributions under the terms of the open source license of the project that you're contributing to.
-
You are legally able to license your contributions as stated.
The reason I do this is to ensure, to the extent possible, that I don't “taint” the projects I manage with contributions that turn out to be improper. This protects everyone who wants to use the projects, including you! If you want a longer explanation, then you can check out the CLA Rationale page.
Once you sign the Contributor License Agreement (the "CLA"), I will then be able to merge your contributions with a clear conscience and with only the friction that results from the usual technical back-and-forth of a vibrant open source project.
To get started with this process, visit the Sign the CLA page.
If you have any questions about any of this, please raise them by filing a bug on this project, since there's a good chance that if you have a question then someone else has the same question too. If it is really and truly a private matter, then you can mail me at open-source@sciss.de.
Thanks, and happy hacking! I am looking forward to your contributions. Cheers,
Hanns Holger Rutz (Sciss)
