Every good open source software project grows. With that growth, it sometimes becomes difficult to communicate with people within that project. This is true for the CyanogenMod project as well. With our continued growth, change is coming as well. A major change is to make it easier for outside developers to communicate with the CyanogenMod project.

This is where I, and this blog post, come into play. Are you maintaining a device that is not currently maintained by the CM team? Do you wish for that device to be added to the list with your support? Have you found a vulnerability that you discovered that needs to be disclosed? Is there a problem with code used that needs attention? There is now a face for you to communicate with to get these things taken care of.

I’ve been in the background of the CyanogenMod project for just over two years now. With the knowledge I’ve gained, I am now taking on the roll of making it easier for outside developers to work within the project. This change will help us to continue and grow as the number one aftermarket Android distribution. Please do not read this as a new contact for bug reports or feature requests. Bugs and features are to be reported on the CyanogenMod bug tracker. Code submissions will still be handled through our gerrit instance. This new contact avenue is to assist the community in ways previously described.

You can contact me via email at devrel _at_ cyanogenmod _dot_ com. I look forward to getting the ball rolling on whatever needs to be taken care of.

Here are the currently available resources for the community:

*Edit* Please do not send device requests. If you want to add a device to CyanogenMod and are going to do the work on it, this would be your contact avenue. Please keep requests to the Issue Tracker.

This avenue is also for questions about development process or submission guidelines. CyanogenMod does not want to exclude anyone from the development process. We want to give you as much help as possible when adding your work to ours.
