Make it easier to contribute to Maemo OS

Posted on 2009-09-23 14:44 UTC by Sébastien Gendre. Status: Under consideration, milestone: Fremantle, Categories: Programming.

It misses the possibility to contribute directly to the free element of Maemo as we can do it with Android, Fedora, Debian, etc. ...

 

Example: if I want to correct a bug or add a features in Maemo OS, where I go? Where I get the source code? To who I send my contribution?
