IRC

Many of the orbited developers hang out on #orbited and #orbited.dev on freenode.

There has been some discussion of having regular virtual meetings. We might start doing that soon.

Contributor License Agreements

Code contributions to Orbited need to be licensed to the nonprofit set up to manage Orbited and related projects such as js.io. Doing so protects users of the project's software from intellectual property suits, and has a variety of other benefits to contributors and the project.

The method for licensing code is executing a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) with the nonprofit. If your company would like to sponsor work on one of the projects managed by the nonprofit, a representative should execute a Corporate CLA, as well as having individual contributors sign CLAs. CLAs should be signed and emailed to orbitedprojectREMOVETHISTEXT@gmail.com (remember to remove the all-caps words).
