# Community

The PASS Community Documentation provides guidelines and resources for contributing to the Eclipse PASS project,\
covering key areas such as [developer guidelines](https://docs.eclipse-pass.org/community/developer-guidelines), the [project roadmap](https://docs.eclipse-pass.org/community/pass-roadmap), and\
ways to get involved. It outlines best practices for reporting bugs, contributing code, and testing to ensure a\
high-quality and collaborative development process. The documentation also includes the PASS roadmap, which details\
planned initiatives around user engagement, community building, system administration, and application enhancements.

## Getting Involved

PASS is an open-source community project, and there are many ways to contribute—whether by providing feedback, reporting\
bugs, or writing code. Community members are encouraged to:

* Review the existing code base and documentation.
* Test the [PASS Docker](https://docs.eclipse-pass.org/developer-documentation/pass-docker) local test instance to understand workflows and features.
* Join discussions on [Slack](https://eclipse-pass.slack.com/archives/C035MNLRD44) to ask questions or offer suggestions.
* Follow the [pull request workflow](https://docs.eclipse-pass.org/developer-guidelines#pull-request-workflow) to submit code contributions.

If you’re new to the project, a great starting point is to try the [PASS Docker](https://docs.eclipse-pass.org/developer-documentation/pass-docker)\
local test instance to explore the application and understand its core functionality.
