# Developer Information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to be aware that HPR is a long term project run by volunteers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Project Principles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few things you need to be aware of before you decide to contribute to Hacker Public Radio (HPR).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our prime directive is that "HPR is dedicated to sharing knowledge".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any software development is done with the goal of supporting the distribution of the podcast media, [locally](directory-structure.md) so they can be played on as many devices as possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The priority is to keep the flow of shows coming in and going out, fix any accessibility issue that arise, then work on any other feature requests.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We do not track statistics to the detriment of our prime directive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We make the entire delivery ecosystem redundant using native Internet standards, and the cooperation of community members.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All Data is available by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Community Members, sponsors, and hosting platforms will change over time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have a fear of online platforms, libraries and niche tools (that we do not support ourselves) as they can and have [disappeared overnight](https://killedby.tech/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are very conservative in our choice of tech. As a rule of thumb, all software choices tend to be technology that was developed years ago, and is likely to be around for years to come.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That said, we move with the times when there is a clear advantage to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We run up to date patched stable software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have a long tradition of supporting and sharing hacker culture. Any identified vulnerability are fixed with credit if requested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We use [RSS](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification) as a delivery mechanism, which is by default fault tolerant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our primary domains HackerPublicRadio.com and HackerPublicRadio.org are registered with different different providers, and the DNS is served from different locations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All our code is on [GitTea](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR), please clone locally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Our database](https://hackerpublicradio.org/hpr.sql) is updated frequently, please copy locally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our media is served from our [Community Content Delivery Network (CCDN)](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_documentation/ccdn/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug reports, and patches are welcome from anyone without commitment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are contributing new code, or new technology we ask you commit to supporting it for a minimum of two years. This allows the other Janitors time to learn the new tech and support it when you leave.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some things we can change without discussion but other things we need to get input from the [HPR Community]((https://hackerpublicradio.org/about.html#governance).

## Create an Account
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're happy with all that, then...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to contribute you need to [create an account](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/user/sign_up), but you **also** need to notify the admins@hpr either via email, mastodon, or matrix that you have created an account. Due to the level of spam accounts we need to approve one by one.
