Weekly Mobile Newsletter - Issue 22

Released 07.08.2020

Since all the source code for the DEM V2 is open, it's possible to get deeply involved, both in tracking down issues and making significant product changes.

Can I contribute?

Being part of an open-source project means more than just writing code — there are many ways that you can contribute.

What Contributions Will We Accept

In short, we’ll entertain anything that makes the DEM V2 product better in terms of stability, quality, and capability. This may take the shape of:

1. Report issue or open the proposal
2. Bug fixes
3. Feature implementations
4. Write UI Tests
5. Improve documentation
6. Add new amazing Styles and Themes
7. Update translations or add new languages
8. DevOps (Release, Deployment, Publish ...)
9. Create short explainer videos or/and technical blogs
10. Invite others to participate

Before you even start writing code, unless its a small bug fix, it is best to subscribe to our mailing list/chat and discuss your changes.
