Contribution Guide

protontypes welcomes all new contributors to the "awesome-sustainable-technology" list. The inclusion of different perspectives in the project is important to us, so we are looking for a diverse community to engage in constructive discussions.

Guideline

Gathering state-of-the-art open source technology preserving global energy supply and vital natural resources

Energy Supply

Global energy supply is a central basis for human life. The following aspects should be the focus of attention in order to ensure global scalability:

  • Decentralised supply
  • High availability
  • Low impact on vital natural resources such as climate, water, soil or forests
  • High robustness and easy maintenance

In order to understand the impact on different ecosystems and other natural resources, these need to be monitored and recorded. Only in this way can the impact of our actions be understood on a global scale.

Vital Natural Resources

All life on earth is based on the availability of limited natural resources. Ensuring quality and ensuring accessibility for all life forms is a central task for sustainable technology.

What criteria must my project meet to be considered?

  • The project must comply as closely as possible with the Guideline.
  • You need to show that others than the project main developers are using the project.
  • Larger parts of the project are published under an open source license.
  • Have good reasons why the project is awesome and why it is useful.

How to contribute to the list

Additions on the list will be done by Pull Requests.

  • Every new project on the list needs to be a new pull request.
  • Create a fork of awesome-sustainable-technology.
  • Insert the project into one of the categories of your fork. We can discuss later on in the 'Pull Request' comments whether another category fits better or we need to open a new one.
  • Add your project in the following format: - [Project Name](Project URL) - A sentence that describes your project and what makes it different from others.
  • Describe in at least one sentence why you think the project meets the guidelines.
  • Create a pull request and wait for the reaction of the maintainer. We may ask you additional questions or you may need to make changes to your pull request.
  • To reorder the list or for creating new categories please open an issue. After a discussion in the issue comments, we can decide on how to reorganize the list based on a pull request from you.

Further details on how do Pull Requests can be found in the official GitHub documentation.
