Getting involved
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Cartographer is developed in the open and allows anyone to contribute to the project.
|
|
There are multiple ways to get involved!
|
|
|
|
Twice a month, the project hosts "Open House Hangouts" sessions that are essentially meetings open to everyone to join in.
|
|
The call typically recaps the recent and ongoing development around Cartographer and Cartographer ROS.
|
|
The developers are then open to questions from the community, this is a great time to ask about contribution ideas.
|
|
If you don't feel like talking or being seen, you are free to join anyway and skulk!
|
|
The slides are also made available after each session but there is no video recording.
|
|
|
|
If you want to stay tuned with announcements (such as new major releases or new open house sessions), you can join `the Cartographer mailing list`_ although you can not interact with this mailing list anymore.
|
|
|
|
.. _the Cartographer mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-cartographer
|
|
|
|
If you think you've found an issue in Cartographer, you are welcome to open a `GitHub issue`_ but don't forget to provide a way to reproduce your bug!
|
|
Typically, join a ``.bag`` and a link to a fork of the ``cartographer_ros`` repository containing your configuration and launch files.
|
|
|
|
.. _GitHub issue: https://github.com/cartographer-project/cartographer/issues
|
|
|
|
If you have an idea of a significant change that should be documented and discussed before finding its way into Cartographer, you should submit it as a pull request to `the RFCs repository`_ first.
|
|
Simpler changes can also be discussed in GitHub issues so that developers can help you get things right from the first try.
|

If you want to contribute code or documentation, this is done through `GitHub pull requests`_.
|
|
However, make sure you have signed (online) the `Contributor License Agreement`_ first!
