How can I contribute to the GBBopen effort?
There are two avenues: • as a volunteer performing programming, testing, documentation, and application-development activities • as a sponsor If you would like to become involved with the Project we want to hear from you! From time to time, calls for important volunteer tasks are listed on our “Development status” page, but there are many other needed tasks that we do not post. Contact us at volunteer@GBBopen.org and let us know how you’d like to get involved. Sponsors provide equipment, software, and funding for the overall GBBopen Project or for specific development activities. To find out more about becoming a GBBopen Project sponsor, contact us at sponsor@GBBopen.org. How are the GBBopen Project and the University of Massachusetts Amherst related?
