Everyone can contribute to digital products with GitLab, to GitLab itself, and to our organization.
1. To ensure that **everyone can contribute with GitLab** we allow anyone to create and accept a proposal, at any time, without setup.

- Anyone: Every person in the world should be able to afford great DevOps software. GitLab.com has free private repos and CI runners and GitLab CE is [free as in speech and as in beer](http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31717/what-do-the-phrases-free-speech-vs.-free-beer-really-mean/). But open source is more than a license, that is why we are [a good steward of GitLab CE](https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship) and keep both GitLab CE and EE open to inspection, modifications, enhancements, and suggestions.
- Create: It is a [single application](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#single-application) based on [convention over configuration](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#convention-over-configuration).
- Accept: reduce the risk of saying yes with review apps, integrated CI, automatic code quality, security scans, and monitoring.
- Proposal: with git if you can read it you can fork it to create a proposal.
- At any time: you can work concurrent to other people, without having to wait for permission or approval from others.

- At any time: you can work concurrently to other people, without having to wait for permission or approval from others.
- Without setup: you can make something without installing or configuring for hours with our web IDE, auto build.
- With confidence: reduce the risk of a flawed proposal with review apps, integrated CI, automatic code quality, security scans, performance testing, and automatic monitoring.
1. To ensure that **everyone can contribute to GitLab the application** we actively welcome contributors. We do this by having quality code, tests, documentation, using popular frameworks, offering a comprehensive [GitLab Development Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit), and a dedicated [GitLab Design Kit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-design). We use GitLab at GitLab Inc., to drink our own wine and make it a tool we continue to love. We celebrate contributions by recognizing a Most Valuable Person (MVP) every month. We allow everyone to anticipate, propose, discuss, and contribute features by having everything on a public issue tracker. We ship a new version every month so contributions and feedback are visible fast. To contribute to open source software people must be empowered to learn programming. That is why we sponsor initiatives such as Rails Girls.
