     6  Community
     7  =========
     8  
     9  Deis is a fully open source project. As such, the "Deis community" consists
    10  of anyone who uses the Deis software and participates in its evolution,
    11  whether by answering questions, finding bugs, suggesting enhancements, or
    12  writing documentation or code.
    13  
    14  Deis development is coordinated through its project `on GitHub`_. Anyone can
    15  check out the source code for Deis, fork the project, make improvements,
    16  and create a pull request to incorporate those changes into Deis.
    17  
    18  `OpDemand`_ maintains the Deis project, and as such decides what
    19  ends up in the official GitHub repository for Deis. Deis depends on the
    20  contributions of the community; the maintainers will not ignore pull
    21  requests or issues.
    22  
    23  Deis uses the timeless, highly efficient, and totally unfair system known as
    24  "Benevolent Dictator for Life" (`BDFL`_). `Gabriel Monroy`_, the creator of
    25  Deis, is our BDFL and has final say over all decisions related to Deis.

    27  Open Source Bounties
    28  --------------------
    29  
    30  Deis is a bounty-friendly project.  We believe open source bounty sites can
    31  be constructive tools in the development of open source software.
    32  Community members are encouraged to a) offer bounties and b) receive
    33  bounties for open source contributions that benefit everyone.
    34  The Deis maintainers, however, will not accept bounties on this project
    35  but are more than happy to help community members attempting bounties.
