For Everyone
IRC
We hang out at OFTC (irc.oftc.net), on the #bongo channel. Daylight hours in US/Eastern time are the most active. All types of question about Bongo are welcome.
Latest logs can be found at http://logs.bongo-project.org/irc.
Mailing lists
We have mailing lists for all occasions. Specifically, we have lists for both user discussion and development.
Web
- Latest Bongo news is summarised on the Main Page.
- Read the developers' day-to-day blogs on Planet Bongo
- Visit the forum at the Forum Site
Glossary
Bongo has many features, and as such we assign code names on some of these features. These code names and other abbreviations that are used regularily on the mailing lists and IRC can be found in the Glossary section.
Meetings
Bongo contributors and enthusiasts meet sporadically. Transcripts and recordings will be linked here when available.

For Contributors
Reporting Bugs
Reporting Bongo bugs improves the quality of the software! If you come across any issue please don't hesitate to report it at the Bongo GNA! bugs page.
Security Process
See the Security page for details of our security process, and how you should file bugs which could have security implications.
Bongo Love!
If you'd like to get involved further than just reporting bugs, why not take a look at the Bongo Love area? When we find small jobs which new coders or non-coders could easily do, we write a small description of them and point you in the right direction.
Getting into the code
First, it would be a good idea to peruse the wishlist and functional requirement pages, and check out the source code. You can also ask questions and discuss development issues either on IRC (#bongo) or the bongo-devel mailing list (see left) - this is probably the preferred way to get into Bongo; we can easily tell you how and where to get your hands dirty.
Artwork
We would recommend that you only use the Bongo Artwork in your work on the project.
