# How to contribute

Our software is open source so you can solve your own problems without needing help from others. And if you solve a problem and are so kind, you can upstream it for the rest of the world to use.

Most open source development activity is coordinated through our [slack](https://slack.comma.ai). A lot of documentation is available on our [medium](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/)

## Getting Started

 * Join our slack [slack.comma.ai](https://slack.comma.ai)
 * Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
 * Fork the repository on GitHub

## Car Ports (openpilot)

We've released a guide for porting to Toyota cars [here](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/openpilot-port-guide-for-toyota-models-e5467f4b5fe6)

If you port openpilot to a substantially new car, you might be eligible for a bounty. See our bounties at [comma.ai/bounties.html](https://comma.ai/bounties.html)
