|
|
description: There are many ways you could contribute to Ocean Protocol.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
All contributions to Ocean Protocol are governed by our [Contributor Code of Conduct](/concepts/code-of-conduct/).
|
|
Code development follows the [Ocean Engineering Principles](/concepts/principles/).
|
|
|
|
## Help Develop Core Ocean Software
|
|
|
|
- Read and understand the [legal requirements when contributing code](/concepts/legal-reqs/).
|
|
- Look through the [dev-ocean repository on GitHub](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/dev-ocean). It summarizes Ocean Protocol software development practices and policies.
|
|
- Ask technical questions in the [Ocean Protocol chatroom on Gitter](https://gitter.im/oceanprotocol/Lobby).
|
|
- Find repository-specific development notes in each repository (usually in the root `README.md` file).
|
|
|
|
## Report a Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
See the page about [reporting vulnerabilities](/concepts/vulnerabilities/).
|
|
|
|
## Report a Bug or Make a Feature Request
|
|
|
|
To report a bug that isn't a vulnerability, or to make a feature request, go to the relevant GitHub repository, click on the Issues tab, click on the New issue button, and read the instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Suggest a Change to the Protocol Itself
|
|
|
|
To suggest a change to the Ocean Protocol itself (which is actually a set of protocols), go to the [Ocean Protocol Enhancement Proposals (OEPs)](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/OEPs/) repository and write a proposal, either as an issue or as a pull request.
|
|
|
|
## Write!
|
|
|
|
You could write articles or blog posts related to Ocean Protocol. Possible topics include:
|
|
|
|
- a story about how you used Ocean Protocol or the Ocean network
|
|
- news from a recent event

## Become an Ocean Protocol Ambassador
|
|
|
|
- [Read the announcement of the Ocean Protocol Ambassador Program](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/envoys-of-the-new-data-economy-ocean-protocol-ambassadors-3816a0e63611)
|
|
- [Read about some ambassadors](https://blog.oceanprotocol.com/an-ambassadors-tale-531401d4452f)

## Develop a Service Integration Driver or Plugin
|
|
|
|
- Aquarius currently supports storing metadata in MongoDB, Elasticsearch or BigchainDB. Each option is supported by its own "OceanDB driver." You could write a new OceanDB driver to support another database. See [the existing OceanDB repositories for examples](https://github.com/oceanprotocol?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=oceandb&type=&language=).
|
|
- Brizo currently supports storing data sets in Azure Storage, Amazon S3 or on-premise. Each option is supported by its own "Osmosis driver." You could write a new Osmosis driver to support another storage provider. See [the existing Osmosis repositories for examples](https://github.com/oceanprotocol?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=osmosis&type=&language=).
|
|
- [OEP-11 lists the supported encryption and decryption options](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/OEPs/tree/master/11#encryption-and-decryption) (for encrypting URLs before putting them in the metadata, not data sets themselves). You could add support for another option.
|
|
- Other kinds of services could also be integrated. If you need help or advice, then email <a href="mailto:info@oceanprotocol.com">info@oceanprotocol.com</a>.
