Contribution Guidelines

Introduction

We want to invite anyone to join the project and help improving it. There are many ways to participate like reporting bugs, writing documentation, creating/updating samples, helping on the mailing list or even contributing code and patches just to name a few. However, like with any other open source project, certain policies define the process and requirements before a contribution gets accepted.

Contributing to the project

Any SEEK related application, enhancement, bugfix or new code regarding the SmartCard API and its subprojects is welcome. Keep in mind that

  • License has to be Apache v2 - unless not applicable (e.g. kernel code is GPL)- indicated in the header of each source file
  • Copyright of patches has to be "Copyright XXXX Giesecke & Devrient GmbH." or "Copyright (c) XXXX, The Android Open Source Project" indicated in the header of each source file (to allow later contribution to AOSP)
  • Coding style has to meet AOSP requirements or the applicable project requirements
  • Language (variables, documentation, ...) has to be English
  • Support should be available for the contributed code when bugs are reported or Mailing List discussions arise
  • Contributing a new (sub)project also requires the creation of a Documentation in the Wiki

Get started

Send a email to a SEEK manager: http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/people/list or use the mailing list to publish your patch, documentation update or propose your new project or application. Once your contribution gets accepted you'll be added to the project
