🎉 Thank you for taking the time to contribute! 🎉
Like everything else with Denver Startup Week, the DSW website is an entirely volunteer-powered effort. The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to the DSW website. They will equip you with the information needed to make the most awesome contribution possible and will also make it as easy as possible for us to help you get your code into production. Pull requests or issues that don't demonstrate a thoughtful consideration of these guidelines may be closed without comment at the maintainers' discretion. Help us help you!
This project and all who participate in it are governed by the Denver Startup Week Code of Conduct. By participating, you agree to uphold it too. Project maintainers reserve the right to block contributors who violate the Code of Conduct at their sole discretion.
In addition to asking you to agree to the Code of Conduct, we respectfully remind you that we are all volunteers who contribute to and maintain this project in our free time. We believe strongly in offering constructive and actionable feedback on pull requests, but the turnaround on something thoughtful is often not immediate. Please be patient! Contributions that demonstrate a blatant disregard for the maintainers' time or that are otherwise rude or disrespectful will not be accepted.
Denver Startup Week is the largest free entrepreneurial event in North America. Held every fall, it is a week-long celebration of entrepreneurship and innovation in Denver and the surrounding area. It is made possible thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers and generous sponsorship.
You are encouraged to explore the Denver Startup Week Website and get a feel for content, structure, etc.
We maintain a list of open issues and have done our best to tag them, especially the ones that might be good for first-time contributors. We suggest reviewing that list, especially if you're not sure what to work on.
We also recommend reviewing the codebase to get a sense of overall project style and how we like to test.
You may claim an issue by commenting on any open, unassigned issue. We may respond by asking you to self-assign that issue, or we may ask you to pick a different issue. You are certainly welcome to simply begin working on something, but we may opt to not accept a pull request in the event of any parallel effort on that work.
Please do not add any new issues without first ensuring that the issue has not already been entered.
Before submitting a pull request, please take a few minutes to ensure that you've considered the following:
- You've rebased the latest changes from master into your branch and addressed any merge conflicts (no merge commits, please).
- You've addressed anything caught by the linter. Sometimes, Hound will complain once you've pushed up a PR; please address these by squashing/amending commits.
- You've squashed any WIP or similar commits.
- You've included a helpful description of your work in the pull request and have referenced any relevant issues.
- You've run the test suite and all tests are passing.
- You've added any additional tests of your own, as needed, to cover new or changed functionality.
