<h2>Get Involved</h2>

<p>We're building Gittip openly and in public, and you're welcome to join
us. Here is how to get involved:</p>

<ul>

<li><b>Newsletter</b>. The best way to get involved is to <a
href="https://tinyletter.com/gittip">subscribe to our
newsletter</a>. This goes out about once a week and summarizes all
of the activity going on in the Gittip community. From there you'll be
able to identify projects that are a good fit for you and get involved
further. You can view past newsletters in this <a
href="https://tinyletter.com/gittip/letters">archive</a>.</li>

<li>

<li><b>GitHub</b> (different than Gittip!) is a <a
href="https://github.com/gittip">collaboration platform</a> used by
the software teams within Gittip. Anyone can register an account there
and participate in discussions on any issues related to the software
side of Gittip.</li>

<li><b>Freenode</b> is an internet relay chat (IRC) network. It's for
online chatrooms. We hang out in the <a
href="irc://irc.freenode.net:6697/#gittip">#gittip</a> channel. You
can <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=gittip">join</a> in
using your web browser, and there's a read-only <a
href="https://botbot.me/freenode/gittip/">archive</a>.</li>

</ul>
<a name="contact-us"></a>
<h2>Contact Us</h2>

<p>We also use Skype and Google Hangouts to talk by voice and/or video. Our
Freenode chatroom is the launching place for these conversations.</p>

<h2>Want to get involved?</h2>

<p>Thanks for wanting to help! This is the place to start. :-)</p>

<p><a href="/about/">Gittip</a> is a new kind of organization called an
&ldquo;<a
href="http://blog.gittip.com/post/26350459746/the-first-open-company">open
company</a>.&rdquo; Anyone can volunteer to help with almost anything at
any time, and <a href="/Gittip/members/">everyone who volunteers</a> gets to
<a href="https://medium.com/building-gittip/eba0a27825b8">take some of the
money</a> that has been given on Gittip to Gittip itself&mdash;Gittip is
funded on Gittip.</p>


<h2>Where does work happen?</h2>

<p>We work in public as much as possible. It's an essential part of our
corporate culture.</p>

<dl>

<dt>1. IRC (Internet Relay Chat)</dt>

<dd>We hang out in the #gittip channel on the Freenode network, and this is
the best place to become a part of the community of people building Gittip.
If you don't know what IRC is but feel brave, dip your toes in here: <a
href="http://chat.gittip.com/">http://chat.gittip.com/</a>.</dd>


<dt>2. GitHub</dt>

<dd>Git<i>Hub</i> is different than Git<i>tip</i>! GitHub is where we
manage our <a href="https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com">source
code</a> and keep track of and discuss <a
href="https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues?direction=desc&sort=comments&state=open">open
issues</a>. Diving in here is the second-best way to get involved.</dd>


<dt>3. Google Hangouts On Air</dt>

<dd>We do video conferences with Google Hangouts On Air, which means they
get live-streamed and <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLivwfG4q6DTAYCmRDmGpljRrpR3yNNSFP">posted
to YouTube</a>.</dd>


<dt>4. Medium / Tinyletter</dt>

<dd>We have a &ldquo;<a
href="https://medium.com/building-gittip/latest">Building
Gittip</a>&rdquo; collection on Medium where anyone can publish
longer-form analysis and ideas. We also have an email newsletter called
&ldquo;<a href="http://tinyletter.com/gittip">Roll on,
Gittip!</a>&rdquo;</a> on Tinyletter, where we occassionally post
summaries of work going on around the company. Here's the <a
href="http://tinyletter.com/gittip/letters">archive</a>.</dd>

<dd>The primary audience for both of these is people building Gittip
(unlike our <a href="http://blog.gittip.com/">blog</a>, which is for the
general public). If you want the inside scoop but don't need it in real
time, subscribing on Tinyletter (<a
href="http://tinyletter.com/gittip">here</a>) or Medium (<a
href="https://medium.com/feed/building-gittip">RSS</a>) is a good option.
For real-time, use IRC (above).</dd>


<dt>5. In Person</dt>

<dd>We're predominantly a distributed team, but we do sometimes come
together at meetups and hackathons and conferences and whatnot. Catch as
catch can.</dd>


<dt>6. Email / Text / Phone</dt>

<dd>We don't have private conversations if we can help it.</dd>

<dd>If you have a security-related matter to discuss, you can find Chad's
PGP key on our <a href="/security.txt">security page</a>.</dd>

</dl>


<h2>What next?</h2>

<p>Announce yourself on IRC and say you want to help, or if you're not sure
about IRC or no-one is around when you show up there, then tweet &ldquo;I
want to help!&rdquo; to <a href="https://twitter.com/Gittip">@Gittip</a>.
Someone will respond and help you get started with your first project.</p>

<p>Woo-hoo! Thanks! :-)</p>
