The motto "Many hands make light work" is very much applicable to all aspects of AXIOM project development. If you don't code, shoot video or take photographs, and if you agree with the open source ethos or like what the project represents, there are still things you can do to assist. One important necessity is promotion. All of our current  social channels are listed [https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Social here] if this is something you'd like to help with.

The projects being worked on inside the community have the potential to help you build your network, improve your skills, become more intimately involved with open source technologies in general, to grow and advance your own goals, and the apertus° Association’s responsibility is to provide the support you might need throughout your journey. Unlike manufacturers who’ve previously dominated the technological development associated with film making we aren’t profit orientated so the more you assist with these projects the more we can assist you.

Anyone is free to contribute towards and help steer project developments. How integral you become in the community and in what way is entirely up to you.

The association doesn't typically make demands of people but if you need pointers on what needs to be done and how you could be useful then feel free to make contact, introduce yourself and describe what skills you have. This way, what you might be best suited to can be determined.


1 Basic first steps:

1.1 AXIOM Labs

Wiki - Labs.png

Sign-up for membership of our Labs - This is important because our phabricator labs work like a forum with some extra performance modules, most aspects of project development are discussed here. It has a rich content history of ideas dating back years.


1.2 IRC

Wiki - IRC.png

IRC - This is a live chat facility that, despite its shortcomings, has proved to be a reliable central platform for immediate communications.

Community members should create a username and ideally select a client. There are many clients for both desktop and mobile including Hexchat (Desktop), AndChat (Mobile), Riot (Mobile) and many others.

  • Main chat: #apertus
  • Address: irc.freenode.net
  • Port (if required): 6667

A list of IRC commands can be found here, IRC Communications are publicly logged here, and previous team meetings are archived here.

You may also want to read through the apertus° mission statement and association bylaws to find out how we serve the community.


2 Advanced steps:

The English language is generally accepted as a primary method for communication, however there are regional communities developing around the world. These are administered by APOCs or AXIOM Community Points of Contact. Make contact with your local APOC and find out how your immediate community functions, if there are any events scheduled and if you can assist them in some way.

This is good for getting hands-on experience with the cameras, contributing towards productions which happen to be using them, accessing equipment, or building your networks - the community is filled with a lot of great, helpful and skilled people.

If there is no APOC administering on behalf of your local community then perhaps this is something you’d like to be considered for, in which case please make contact.
