Every path to net zero has the electricity grid at its heart. At Open Climate Fix, we're delivering cutting-edge technology for industry to accelerate the energy transition.
How to get involved?
At OCF we are passionate that all the knowledge we produce remains open, to break down intellectual property barriers and subsequently reduce the “time to impact”. We therefore encourage external users to use our base code.
Here how you can get involved:
- Submit pull requests.
- Have a look at our List of "good first issues": GitHub "issues" which describe changes we'd like to make to the code. Our coding style is here
- Check out which Github repository are easy to contribute to.
- Sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn to learn the latest about our work
- Use our datasets on Hugging Face or EUMETSAT satellite data and let us know if it was useful.
- Use our ML models on Huggin Face and let us know if it was useful.
- Spread the word with your networks
- Use our code(!) by following the guidelines below.
What if you use our code?

We've set up this traffic light legend, so you can see how easy it is to get involved in each of our repositories.
| Level | Details |
|---|---|
 | These projects are easy to run, standalone, and have easily readable code. There should be issues for everyone at different skill levels. |
 | These projects are accessible to contributors but might depend on your skill level. They might depend on another bit of code or need you to investigate a little bit. |
 | We would not recommend going into these projects. They haven't been made "nice" and it might take a lot of digging in the code to understand what's going on. |
You will usually see one of the corresponding badges on the repo's README.
