# Code of Merit
|
||||
|
||||
1. The project creators, lead developers, core team, constitute
|
||||
the managing members of the project and have final say in every decision
|
||||
of the project, technical or otherwise, including overruling previous decisions.
|
||||
There are no limitations to this decisional power.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Contributions are an expected result of your membership on the project.
|
||||
Don't expect others to do your work or help you with your work forever.
|
||||
|
||||
3. All members have the same opportunities to seek any challenge they want
|
||||
within the project.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Authority or position in the project will be proportional
|
||||
to the accrued contribution. Seniority must be earned.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Software is evolutive: the better implementations must supersede lesser
|
||||
implementations. Technical advantage is the primary evaluation metric.
|
||||
|
||||
6. This is a space for technical prowess; topics outside of the project
|
||||
will not be tolerated.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Non technical conflicts will be discussed in a separate space. Disruption
|
||||
of the project will not be allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Individual characteristics, including but not limited to,
|
||||
body, sex, sexual preference, race, language, religion, nationality,
|
||||
or political preferences are irrelevant in the scope of the project and
|
||||
will not be taken into account concerning your value or that of your contribution
|
||||
to the project.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Discuss or debate the idea, not the person.
|
||||
|
||||
10. There is no room for ambiguity: Ambiguity will be met with questioning;
|
||||
further ambiguity will be met with silence. It is the responsibility
|
||||
of the originator to provide requested context.
|
||||
|
||||
11. If something is illegal outside the scope of the project, it is illegal
|
||||
in the scope of the project. This Code of Merit does not take precedence over
|
||||
governing law.
|
||||
|
||||
12. This Code of Merit governs the technical procedures of the project not the
|
||||
activities outside of it.
|
||||
|
||||
13. Participation on the project equates to agreement of this Code of Merit.
|
||||
|
||||
14. No objectives beyond the stated objectives of this project are relevant
|
||||
to the project. Any intent to deviate the project from its original purpose
|
||||
of existence will constitute grounds for remedial action which may include
|
||||
expulsion from the project.
|
||||
|
||||
This document is the Code of Merit (http://code-of-merit.org), version 1.0.

-- INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
||||
LCDproc is a client/server suite including drivers for all kinds of nifty LCD
|
||||
devices. The server works with different display sizes and supports several
|
||||
serial devices: Matrix Orbital, Crystal Fontz, Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001
|
||||
(kernelconcepts.de), Wirz-SLI and PIC-an-LCD; some devices connected to
|
||||
the parallel port: HD44780, STV5730, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330; and also
|
||||
some displays connected via USB: CFontzPacket, CwLnx, IOWarrior, LIS2 and
|
||||
BWCT.
|
||||
Various clients are available that display things like CPU load, system load,
|
||||
memory usage, uptime, and a lot more.
|
||||
|
||||
LCDproc also supports key or remote control input for controlling the clients.
|
||||
|
||||
The client and the server use a TCP connection to communicate, so it is
|
||||
possible to have a client on a box in Sweden showing its stats on a LCD
|
||||
display in the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
Our web site is located at http://lcdproc.org/
|
||||
For new versions and CVS go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdproc/
|
||||
|
||||
Check there first for new versions or updates. For remaining questions,
|
||||
you can ask the mailing list. For how to get on the mailing list, see
|
||||
the main web site.

||||

||||
LCDproc was originally written by William W. Ferrell <wwf@splatwerks.org>
|
||||
and Selene Scriven <lcdproc@toykeeper.net>.

|
||||
-- INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the INSTALL file included with this archive for installation
|
||||
instructions (including how to connect the LCD to your system).
|
||||
|
||||
-- CHANGES -------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Woow... a lot. :)
|
||||
See the ChangeLog file for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
-- HELPING OUT ---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing you should do is join the mailing list, to do so, go to out
|
||||
web site and click on MAIL and follow the instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get the urge to help out by writing code, take a look at the TODO
|
||||
file to see what we think that needs to be done. If you want to work on
|
||||
something, or you want to add something different, tell it on the
|
||||
mailing list. Maybe someone is already working on the part, and maybe someone
|
||||
has already writen something that you can use. New ideas are always welcome !
|
||||
|
||||
To learn more about how LCDproc works, first have a look at the docs/
|
||||
directory. Some important things are documented there, but because this is
|
||||
still somewhat a big hacking project, some documentation will be missing ;)
|
||||
|
||||
-- SPECIAL THANKS ------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
LCDproc is a community effort, and as such we'd like to recognize everyone's
|
||||
efforts. We've tried to list all the people that have contributed in the
|
||||
CREDITS file. Thanks all !

## Code of Merit
|
||||
|
||||
This project adopts the Code of Merit, version 1.0, originally published
|
||||
at http://code-of-merit.org/. Refer to CODE_OF_MERIT.md in this project's
|
||||
source tree for a copy of this document.
|
||||
|
||||
In short, let's focus on writing software and leave the politics out of it.
|
||||
|
||||
# Special Thanks
|
||||
|
||||
LCDproc wouldn't be possible without the ongoing patience and efforts by its
|
||||
amazing community of developers and users. We'd like to recognize everyone's
|
||||
contributions to the project, and we've tried to list them all in the CREDITS
|
||||
file. If we've overlooked your contributions, please let us know so we can
|
||||
attribute your work immediately!
|
||||
|
||||
_From William Ferrell, original developer:_ This project is almost twenty years
|
||||
old as I write this, and I'm so proud of what it's become over the years thanks
|
||||
in no small part to the people (past and present) who not only contributed their
|
||||
work and ideas to the project, but helped to manage and maintain it when I
|
||||
couldn't. To see this project start as a small single-system utility program
|
||||
supporting a single type of device and flourish into a client/server daemon used
|
||||
around the world to drive all sorts of display devices is beyond anything I could
|
||||
have ever hoped for, and I'm eternally grateful to everyone who's contributed
|
||||
over the years. Thank you all for being part of this project and for making it
|
||||
amazing. Here's to another twenty years! :)
