Can I submit a patch to this project?

Of course you can! This is an open source project!

Ideally, raise a tracker item in Sourceforge, so your patch doesn't get lost. Then chase up via the nagiosplug-devel mailing list, if nothing happens. But be aware, this project is run by volunteers, so there is not necessarily immediate response!

By submitting a patch, you are stating that:

  • this is your own work or you have full rights to it
  • that you are handing over copyright for the patch to the Nagios Plugin Development Team

If you disagree with handing over copyright, it maybe possible to dual copyright your change - please ask on the nagiosplug-devel mailing list.

We require the copyright ownership for legal reasons.

If your patch is accepted, we will:

  • add a comment with your name when committing to version control
  • add your name to the list of contributors in the THANKS file
