Horde Bounties

Open Enhancement Requests

Get Involved

Are you a developer?

You now have a chance to earn some money for your contributions. Look through the list of open bounties, pick one and solve it to claim your prize.

Keep checking back here for new bounties or updates to sponsorships.

If you do select a task to work on you may want to consider dropping a note to the dev mailing list. If there are others that have selected the same task, at least you will get a chance to coordinate your efforts.

Do you wish to offer sponsorship?

Your contribution will be recognised with a logo and link to your site. We have two versions of sponsorship to choose from:

  • Sponsor a bounty by pledging an amount towards a task. Your sponsorship will be visible until the bounty is claimed. Check the table for tasks awaiting sponsorship.
  • Become a continuous sponsor by pledging a monthly amount. Your contribution will be distributed amongst various tasks and your logo kept visible for the duration of your sponsorship. Use this form to contribute as a continuous sponsor.

The hunt is on!

If simply contributing to an Open Source project is not enough, you now have an added incentive. The Horde Project has organized an ongoing Bounty Hunt. Listed below are various tasks we would like to see completed or features which have been requested. If you have suggestions for possible bounties, look at the current list of enhancement requests and submit yours if it is not already listed.

Ongoing general bounty fund sponsors:

Rules

To successfully claim your prize you need to follow a few rules:

  1. All code submitted for a bounty must be without any known intellectual property limitations. Furthermore, it must be submitted under the same license as the application to which it will be applied (for example, GPL for IMP, LGPL for Horde).
  2. The code must be accepted and committed into the development branch by the module's maintainers before any prize will be awarded.
  3. Patches must conform to Horde coding and style standards. The code must work and work elegantly (i.e., no hack jobs).
  4. In the case of multiple submissions for a single bounty, the judging panel will select and award the highest quality one.
  5. Group submissions must designate a lead person who will submit the claim on behalf of the group.
  6. All bounty awards or rejections are at the sole discretion of the judging panel. We may refuse to award a bounty to anyone for any reason at any time (although there will certainly be a valid reason, since it is in everyone's interest for the bounty process to work smoothly).

Once you have submitted your code and it has been accepted into CVS, just let the developers who handled the patch know that you're claiming the bounty. Prizes will be paid using PayPal.
