      %h2 Yup, we're open.
      As an open-source project, the ModeShape community has many entry points.
      We welcome your participation however it suits your level of interest.
      %br
      %br
      ModeShape is a 100% open source project.
      This means that not only is the code open source, free to use and free to modify, the development process too is open.
      Mode engineers are available on public IRC channels, hold weekly team meetings in the public, publish design documents and roadmaps to public wikis.
      And this is where you can get involved.

    .span6
      %h2 Everything is on-line
      %p
        Our code is on-line, so is our continuous integration and bug tracker, team meetings are held in public chat rooms, developer discussion mailing lists are public and so are our design wikis.
        It's easy to get involved - just meet one of the core engineers on IRC and say hello.
        Or read
