Five ways to contribute

Pick the one that fits you.

Mix and match — badges stack, perks stack. Be a Code Contributor and a Bug Hunter and an Advocate. Everything adds up.

Code Contributor

GitHub · Pull Requests

Open a merged PR on our official GitHub repo — features, fixes, refactors, docs, examples, CI tweaks all count. Or, ship a merged PR on any other GitHub project that integrates Xinference — that counts too, and we genuinely love seeing it.

Counts
  • Merged PR on our official repo
  • Merged PR on another GitHub project integrating Xinference
  • Docs, examples, CI improvements
Doesn't
  • Whitespace-only edits
  • Closed or rejected PRs
  • Fork-only commits
1 merged PR → Code Contributor
5+ → Senior Code Contributor

Idea Contributor

GitHub · Feature Requests

File a Feature Request on GitHub Issues. Make it clear, grounded in a real use case, and something we can actually ship. If the team accepts it onto the roadmap, the badge is yours.

Counts
  • Clear, scoped, real-world proposals
  • Accepted onto the roadmap
Doesn't
  • Vague or off-scope ideas
  • Duplicates and one-off niche asks
1 accepted idea → Idea Contributor
5+ → Senior Idea Contributor

Bug Hunter

GitHub · Bug Reports

File a Bug Report on GitHub Issues with environment, version, repro steps, and what you saw. It has to be reproducible, confirmed as a real project bug, and fixed end-to-end.

Counts
  • Reproducible, well-documented reports
  • Confirmed + fixed by the team
Doesn't
  • Local config or network issues
  • No-repro or incomplete reports
1 confirmed + fixed bug → Bug Hunter
5+ → Senior Bug Hunter

Ecosystem Creator

Anywhere public · Tools, integrations, tutorials

Build something on top of Xinference — a tool, integration, tutorial, or real deployment case. Make it public and add a "Powered by Xinference" badge using one of our official logos (see Brand assets below).

Counts
  • Public, accessible work
  • "Powered by Xinference" badge with official logo
  • Reusable tools, integrations, or case studies
Doesn't
  • Private or paywalled-only work
  • Uncredited forks
Assessed by quality, reuse, and community pickup → Senior Upgrade

Ecosystem Advocate

GitHub · X · Reddit · YouTube · LinkedIn · Medium · Hacker News · Dev.to · any public platform

Share original content about Xinference — reviews, tutorials, lessons learned, deployment stories, project shout-outs. Anywhere public. Genuine reach, real engagement, no reposts.

Counts
  • Original, hands-on content
  • Real reach and engagement
Doesn't
  • Reposts, spam, paid promo
  • Aggressive lead-gen
Senior upgrade by ops review — consistent, well-received content

How it works

From your first contribution to your badge.

01

You contribute.

Code, issues, content — whatever fits. Pick a track and ship.

We notice.

The team tracks GitHub, community channels, and content platforms. If we spot you first, we'll reach out.

03

Or ping us.

Don't wait around. Send your PR, issue, post, video, or repo to info@xinference.co — we reply within 3 business days.

04

Quick review.

Ops + the relevant product or engineering lead sanity-check the contribution.

You're in.

Badge assigned, Discord role configured, perks unlocked, name on the list.

Please don't recolor, distort, or rebuild the mark. Keep clear space around it equal to the height of the "X".

The fine print

Kept short, on purpose.

No gaming the system.

Spam PRs, low-effort issues, or farmed contributions = badges and perks revoked.

Private repos stay private.

No leaking, reselling, or redistributing internal materials.

Badges stack. Perks stack.

Earn as many tracks as you can — everything adds up.

Rules may evolve.

As the community grows we may tune the program. Existing members keep what they've earned.

Product perks are for real use.

Feedback, testing, co-creation. Not for resale or transfer.

Whatever you build, break, write, or share — we want to know about it.
