Community

Own DevStudio (ODS) is just starting out — the community is still forming. I am excited to welcome early adopters, contributors, and curious tinkerers who want to shape the project from the ground up. Whether you’d like to file a bug, improve docs, build extensions, or simply follow along, you’re invited to be part of the journey.

Ways to participate

  • Try ODS and tell us what’s confusing or delightful.
  • Report bugs with clear steps to reproduce.
  • Write docs & tutorials to help others.
  • Build the ecosystem: themes, snippets, templates, workflows, and integrations.
  • Advocate: share your setups, record short demos, or write posts.

Community values

  • Local-first. Your code and models stay with you.
  • Pragmatic. Small, useful releases over big, perfect ones.
  • Respectful. Assume positive intent. Be kind.
  • Transparent. Design in the open. Discuss trade-offs openly.

Decision-making

  • Discussion → RFC → Implementation. Larger changes start with an RFC in the repo, discussed in public threads.
  • Maintainership. Active contributors who demonstrate judgment and care can become maintainers through consensus.

Release cadence (alpha)

  • Frequent patch releases; minor features as they’re ready. See Release Notes for details.

Where to talk

  • Issues: Bug reports and focused feature requests.
  • Discussions/Forum: General Q&A, ideas, showcases.
  • Real-time chat: Community chat for quick help. (Planning for WhatsApp Group and Channel)
  • GitHub: https://github.com/owndevstudio
  • Discussions: Discord channel is opening soon
