Bounties

The MonoGame Foundation is using a bounty system to propose paid incentives to improve the project.

The list of all open bounties is available on the project's Github repository.

How do bounties work?

If you would like to propose your services to fulfill a bounty, please send us your references and a proposed schedule to complete the bounty by e-mail (please indicate which bounty you are applying to): biz@monogame.net

Each bounty will have a date for applications listed in its description. This will usually be about 2 weeks from the time the bounty is opened. Once the date has been reached the bounty coordinator will review the applications. If there are no applicants, the bounty will remain open. With input from the rest of the board members a successful applicant will be chosen. The bounty coordinator will then let you know of the decision. The decision will also be made public on the specific bounty page. If the decision is favorable, a service agreement will be proposed to you to legally bind both parties. You will also be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Foundation.

The Foundation board will consider your expertise and proposed schedule. Unless specified, only one application per bounty will be selected and locked to complete the bounty. Past that point, bounties will be closed for applications. Therefore, bounties are not competitions with multiple people racing to complete them. The board will look for the most suitable application.

Requirements to apply for bounties

Before you apply for fulfilling a bounty, please note the following requirements:

For US citizens you must provide a W-9 form along with your signed NDA when selected for a bounty.
For non-US citizens you need to provide the correct W-8 form along with your signed NDA when selected for a bounty
Your country of registration must not be under commercial embargo from the United States of America.
Your bank account must not be from a bank that is under commercial embargo from the United States of America.
Your bank account must be able to receive payments in $USD, or payments in any currency supported by Wise (a Wise account isn't required).

We can unfortunately not consider applications that don't meet these requirements.
