What is the Marmalade Code Community?

The Marmalade Code Community is where developers can come together to discover, share and create code that works with Marmalade.

We use the GitHub infrastructure to power the Code Community. Please note that you will need to create a GitHub account if you do not already have one. We have also posted guidelines for using Github on our forum.

Get rewarded for Community coding

For developers, making key contributions to the Code Community can lead to a refund of Marmalade license costs. We will soon be launching a full developer loyalty program, through which developers can earn ‘points’ from activities like code submissions. Watch this space, and make sure you sign up for our mailing lists to receive news of the loyalty program launch.

Any code submissions to the Code Community made before the launch of the full developer loyalty program will receive double points. So get active now and maximize your rewards.

Source code licenses

Each source code repository in our GitHub space should specify the license type under which it is made available. In many cases, this will be a well-known open source license.

Marmalade also releases some of its own code into the Code Community. Any code released by Marmalade is done according to section 4.2.4 of the Marmalade End User License Agreement.
