Contribute

Want to become part of the OpenSensorHub community by adding functionality to the OpenSensorHub core or developing sensor adapters?

We welcome all developers interested in helping us build interoperable Sensor Webs and the Internet of Things.  Most contributions are likely to be  adapters for specific or general sensors and actuators. Additional development may involve the OSH Core (Java), OSH Client Toolkit (JavaScript), processing support, security, DevOps, SensorML editors/viewers, and integration with GeoServer, GeoNode, and other geospatial technologies.

Here are a few ways to get started:

• Check out what has been done in the Explore and Deploy sections
• Check out what has been done in the video demos and tutorials
• Check out the source code at GitHub
• Check out the deployment and development documentation
• Contact us and let us know what you’re up. Perhaps we can help or point you in the right direction.
• For hardware-software interfacing, check out some of the blogs (e.g. Building GeoCam, Arduino Sensors, etc).
