Why Contribute |
Contributing |
You need a good simulation tool, and INET needs your help to improve.
If you are doing research with INET, contributing your changes back to the project means:
- More visibility for your work
- More testing and validation performed by other users
- Other users may further improve or build upon your model
- Burden of technical maintenance is on the INET core team
If you are a student doing homework or thesis with INET:
- Expert feedback adds to your expertise and the quality of the end result
- Your work will end up being useful for others (instead of landing in the drawer)
- It expands your open source portfolio and demonstrates your expertise
- Satisfaction from contributing to an open-source project
You might enjoy contributing, because:
- Simulation and hacking on models can be fun in itself
- The forum is full of helpful people
- You can meet fellow INET people and other OMNeT++ users at the OMNeT++ Summit{:target="_blank"}! (To get the atmosphere of the event, here's a photo album of the 2014 summit{:target="_blank"}.)
