| <h1 class="title">Open Source</h1> |
| |
| <!-- Content --> |
| <div class="readable-content"> |
| <p>Guacamole is an open source project. It is entirely free in every sense (under |
| the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache License, Version 2.0</a>), |
| and will always be so.</p> |
| |
| <p>We believe that being open source gives Guacamole distinct advantages over |
| purely-commercial alternatives. The public availability of the source means |
| that the codebase is readily modifiable and extendable. It can be embedded in |
| whole or in part in other projects. For the sake of the project and its |
| community, significant effort is made by the Guacamole team to keep the |
| codebase clean and readable. Guacamole is not a “black box”; you can read |
| through the codebase and see exactly what it does and why. Commercial support |
| is available, but because the software itself is free and open, there is no |
| aspect of vendor lock-in.</p> |
| |
| <p>Guacamole is not public domain, but the Apache license is very permissive, and |
| as long as you follow it’s simple conditions, you can modify and include |
| Guacamole in other projects to your heart’s content, including commercial or |
| proprietary projects.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="meritocracy">Joining the project</h2> |
| |
| <p>The Apache Guacamole project operates as a |
| <a href="http://apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#meritocracy">meritocracy</a>. The |
| project is made up of volunteers who, based on the subjective judgement of the |
| existing project members, have demonstrated merit through their contributions |
| and thus have been offered membership themselves. If you wish to join the |
| project, the first step is to be active in the community as a |
| <a href="#contribute">contributor</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Contributors who show merit through the quality of their continuing activity in |
| the community and their contributions to the project will be invited to become |
| <a href="#committers">committers</a> or <a href="#pmc-members">members of the PMC</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="contribute">Contributing</h2> |
| |
| <p>If you believe you have a feature or bug fix that would benefit the project, or |
| simply wish to help other users, please feel free to subscribe to and use the |
| <a href="/support/#mailing-lists">project mailing lists</a>. To ensure issues are properly |
| tracked and development effort is not duplicated, all bugs or proposed |
| development should be reported by opening a new ticket in our |
| <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE/">JIRA</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Code contributions are also always welcome, but do have to go through a review |
| process. The code will more than likely be discussed and sent back a few times |
| in order to bring the style and implementation in line with the rest of the |
| Guacamole codebase.</p> |
| |
| <p>If you are planning to contribute code, please keep in mind that the point of |
| contributing is to collaborate for the benefit of the project and its |
| community; it is a service you are choosing to provide because you believe, as |
| the members of the Guacamole project believe, that doing so works toward the |
| greater good. It is thus important to remember:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Expect honest and constructive criticism. It is a good thing.</li> |
| <li>A project’s processes exist for a reason. The goal of contributing is to |
| work with the project for the common good, not fight against it.</li> |
| <li>Develop against the most recent code on git. Patches against releases and |
| naive copies of entire files cannot be accepted as they lack context and |
| are likely out of date.</li> |
| <li>Code must follow consistent style or it will become unreadable and |
| unmaintainable. Please read through our <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GUAC/Contribution+and+Style+Guidelines">style guidelines</a> and, |
| when in doubt, follow the style of the code you are modifying.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Our full contribution guidelines can be found in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">CONTRIBUTING</code> file in any |
| of our git repositories. If you need help getting started, the <a href="/api-documentation">API |
| documentation</a> is an excellent resource, as are the |
| <a href="/support/#mailing-lists">mailing lists</a> and the tutorials in <a href="/doc/gug/">the |
| manual</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h2 id="committers">Committers</h2> |
| |
| <p>Committers actively maintain and contribute to the Apache Guacamole project, |
| produce releases, review the code of contributors and fellow committers, and |
| identify contributors who have shown <a href="#meritocracy">merit</a> and should be |
| offered committership.</p> |
| |
| <p>Committers have write access to Apache Guacamole’s git repositories, but do not |
| make direct changes on their own behalf. Code changes are made only through |
| <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GUAC/Managing+Pull+Requests">pull requests</a>, and are merged only after code review by |
| a committer not otherwise directly involved in those changes.</p> |

| lists</a> and vote on release candidates, new committers, |
| and new PMC members. The PMC is responsible for identifying members of the |
| community who have shown <a href="#meritocracy">merit</a> warranting committership and/or |
