  • To be polite to all members of the project
  • To ensure any code you submit via a patch or commit to source control is properly documented
  • To ensure any code you submit via a patch or commit to source control is compliant with our CodingStandards
  • Not to submit any code without having permission to submit that code
  • Not to submit any code that violates the GNU Public License
  • To follow the ContributorGuidelines
  • To ensure (to the best of your ability) that any commits you make to git leave the repository in a compilable state
  • To ensure that any new class added to the source is accompanied by a test unit
  • To carry out appropriate tests before committing new code to the repository
  • To smile, laugh and crack a joke once in a while - we are all here to have fun!
