Drauger OS - Contributing

Contributing to Drauger OS

Want to Contribute to Drauger OS?
Here are some of the best ways to volunteer.

Code and Documentation

We always need help writing code for various projects!
To persue contributing in this way, we strongly recommend experience with Python, HTML, and/or CSS.

You can find all of our projects on our GitHub.

Our Core Projects:

All of this code also needs documentation. If you're familiar with technical writing, we would love to have your help!

Artwork

Have a knack for creativity? Got skills in digital artwork or graphic design? Fear not! We have a place for you too! We always appreciate new wallpapers, especially when we are working on new versions of Drauger OS. If you want to create one or more wallpapers, check out Our artwork repository for details on how to contribute it!

Monetary Donations

If you don't have the time or skill to contribute code, documentation, or artwork, you can still contribute by donating! All proceeds go towards server upkeep, domain registration, hardware upgrades for servers, and on some occasions, internet, and electricity. No staff is employed by Drauger OS, so all donations go towards keeping the project online. If you feel compelled to do so, you can donate online on our Liberapay.

Beta Testing

Beta Testing can cause system instability and/or an unusable system. That being said, testing is another way you can contribute. There are 2 ways to do this:

Install a beta version of the OS
This is how you can help us prepare us for the next release. Simply install the OS, run it for a few days and let us know of any issues you encounter.

Enable Dev Repos
By enabling the dev repos, you can get updates much faster, at the risk of breaking your system.
To enable the dev repos, run this command in the terminal:

Open your Source List

sudo apt edit-sources

Scroll to the bottom of the file, until you see this:

## Extra Repos added for Drauger OS
deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi main
## Development Repos for Drauger OS
## ONLY ENABLE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH BUGS
# deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-dev main

deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-graphics main
# deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-graphics-dev main

Remove the hash tag (#) from the front of these two lines:

# deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-dev main
# deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-graphics-dev main

Confirm it matches this:

## Extra Repos added for Drauger OS
deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi main
## Development Repos for Drauger OS
## ONLY ENABLE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DEAL WITH BUGS
deb https://apt.draugeros.org strigoi-dev main
