Open Distro is and will remain 100% open source under the Apache 2.0 license. As the project grows, we hope you will join us and contribute. We want to make it easy for you to get started and remove friction—no lengthy Contributor License Agreement—so you can focus on writing great code.
All project code is available on GitHub.
We invite you to contribute. We will ask you to confirm that your contribution will be licensed as Apache 2.0.
Contributing documentation is simple. We use Markdown, which is easy to read and easy to write. Code snippets and examples are essential in helping users get up to speed. The documentation repository has everything you need to get started.
While we build new capabilities into Open Distro , we will contribute features and fixes to the upstream Elasticsearch project to support its continued advancement. Open Distro is not a fork. Our goal is to help ensure the health of a thriving ecosystem.
