Communicating with the Open SIMH project

The Open SIMH project is based on the work of a large community. There are several ways to communicate with the community at large, as well as with the leadership.

Community e-mail list

The e-mail list is the communications vehicle used most often. It encompases use of the simulators, development, and occaisional forrays into the history of the systems and software that we emulate and support.

Bug reports, feature requests, and code

Formal bug reports, feature requests, and code review are handled on the web using GitHub “issuses”.

Code contributions

If you have code that you’d like to contribute, fork the appropriate repository, make your changes, and submit a pull request. Discussion will be in the pull request.

If you would like to discuss a potential contribution before it’s coded (which is wise for larger efforts), please open a GitHub issue.

Steering Group

The Steering Group has ultimate responsibility for the project. We work with the community for a concensus resolution of most issues. In general, we prefer to discuss matters in one of the public formum. However, for sensitive issues, the following e-mail addresses are available:

The Steering Group consists of: Clem Cole, Richard Cornwell, Paul Koning, Timothe Litt, Seth Morabito, and Bob Supnik

PGP public keys

Some Steering Group members may digitally certify Open SIMH project PGP keys with a personal key.

To provide a chain of trust for the project keys, the keys that may be used for this are:

2A5B AD87 D03D 9599 9355 D615 3C4D EA25 9EAC C2B3 (Clement T Cole)
30E5 BFA1 A5E0 7EDE BDCB 5934 4779 39B6 0719 18BF (Timothe Litt)

Although the project keys are expected to be stable, you may prefer to verify them with the Steerng Group member’s key.
