Requirements for new contributors
We welcome new contributors to our community - we want you to use QGIS as a
platform for doing your work - and we believe that QGIS is a great platform for
that. In order to contribute code, patches, or documentation to the QGIS
project, all developers/team members must:
- Abide by the Social Contract.

in the Development Corner, and the CODING document in the root of the QGIS
Sources.
- Ensure that all code committed to the repository is unencumbered and compatible
with the QGIS license, GPL version 2
- Not use or include any code that will cause a trademark or patent infringement.
If you are unsure, ask on the developer mailing list or contact a Project
Steering Committee member.
- Join the qgis-developer mailing list and contribute to discussions
- These requirements apply to both developers desiring commit privileges and
those that submit patches.
- Read and agree to the Code of Conduct.
- Read and agree to the Coding Standards.

- Agree to these requirements by sending an email to the qgis-developer mailing
