Why Contribute

You need a good simulation tool, and INET needs your help to improve.

What’s In It For Me?

If you are doing research with INET, contributing your changes back to the project means:

• More visibility for your work
• More testing and validation performed by other users
• Other users may further improve or build upon your model
• Burden of technical maintenance is on the INET core team

If you are a student doing homework or thesis with INET:

• Expert feedback adds to your expertise and the quality of the end result
• Your work will end up being useful for others (instead of landing in the drawer)
• It expands your open source portfolio and demonstrates your expertise
• Satisfaction from contributing to an open-source project

Fun Project, Fantastic People

You might enjoy contributing, because:

• Simulation and hacking on models can be fun in itself
• The forum is full of helpful people
• You can meet fellow INET people and other OMNeT++ users at the OMNeT++ Summit! (To get the atmosphere of the event, here’s a photo album of the 2014 summit.)
