The STEM Community

Realizing the potential of STEM as an open source tool depends upon the involvement of researchers across settings. STEM developers are working closely with early leaders in the STEM community to provide them with the tools they need.

How You Can Contribute to STEM

New contributors to STEM are always welcome (please contact the developers). This includes not only researchers interested in disease modeling but also experts in GIS data or any other data that might be important in understanding or modeling the spread of infectious disease. We also welcome input from users and contributions to our documentation.

To contribute to STEM, please use the standard Eclipse process. Open a "bug" in our bugzilla (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/) A bug can be more than just a new defect - it can also be a new feature or other contribution. You can attach your contribution as a "patch" to your bug (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Bug_Reporting_FAQ) Please also feel free to e-mail the STEM development team, many of whom are Eclipse Committers The STEM Development Team. For those interested in joining the project, we also have a weekly phone call and a newsgroup, etc.

STEM Conference Call, Newsgroup, and Forum

The STEM community conference call occurs most Wednesdays at 1PM Eastern Time (10AM Pacific Times). For more information, or if you wish to join, please send mailto:judyvdouglas@verizon.net

To receive email updates, go to STEM Newsgroup

To join in the discussion, go to STEM Forum
