For a description of the roles and responsibilities of the various members of the OpeneEXR community, see [GOVERNANCE.md](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md), and for further details, see the OpenEXR project's [Technical Charter](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/blob/master/ASWF/charter/OpenEXR-Technical-Charter.md). Briefly, a "contributor" is anyone who submits content to the project, a "committer" is someone who reviews and approves such submissions, and the Technical Steering Committee provides general project oversight. ## Getting Information There are two primary ways to connect with the Imath project: * The [openexr-dev](https://lists.aswf.io/g/openexr-dev) mail list: This is a development focused mail list with a deep history of technical conversations and decisions that have shaped the project. * [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/Imath/issues): GitHub Issues are used both to track bugs and to discuss feature requests. ### How to Ask for Help If you have trouble installing, building, or using the library, but there's not yet reason to suspect you've encountered a genuine bug, start by posting a question to the [openexr-dev](http://lists.aswf.io/openexr-dev) mailing list. This is the place for question such has "How do I...". ### How to Report a Bug Imath use GitHub's issue tracking system for bugs and enhancements: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/Imath/issues If you are submitting a bug report, please be sure to note which version of Imath you are using, on what platform (OS/version, which compiler you used, and any special build flags or other unusual environmental issues). Please give a specific account of * what you tried * what happened * what you expected to happen instead with enough detail that others can reproduce the problem. ### How to Request a Change Open a GitHub issue: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/Imath/issues. Describe the situation and the objective in as much detail as possible. Feature requests will almost certainly spawn a discussion among the project community. ### How to Report a Security Vulnerability If you think you've found a potential vulnerability in Imath, please refer to [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) to responsibly disclose it. ### How to Contribute a Bug Fix or Change To contribute code to the project, first read over the [GOVERNANCE.md](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md) page to understand the roles involved.
