Community Bounding Period

Get the commit access

Submit two patches for nmg part of BRL-CAD. URLs as following.

Read the relavant Codes

Read and be familiar with nmg-related codes in BRL-CAD.

Acquired knowledge

  • Keep code style consistent is important for Open Source Community.
  • Comments greatly helps others to understand the function of routines and structs. Codes should be changed before fully tracking the call order of routines and totally understanding the comments of them.
  • That's a really good ideas to submit one or two patch to know the coding convention of the community. As a chinese saying goes, sharpening your axe will not delay your job of cutting wood.
