PrimeTek offers an organization structure involving contributors and the core team:
After a certain period of frequent contributions, a community member is offered the Contributor role. On average, it may take about three months, but the exact duration can vary depending on the individual commitment.
If a contributor actively participates in the codebase and PRs, their role may be upgraded to a Committer level, providing direct commit access to the PrimeVue codebase.
PrimeTek prefers to hire team members from open source committers, so you may be offered a full-time position when a position becomes available.
Contributing to PrimeVue comes with several benefits. Being part of an open-source project will enhance your career and open up exciting opportunities. Contributors and Committers will be listed on our team page. You'll gain significant visibility in the developer community while improving yourself as a professional.
You'll be invited to a private communication channel at Discord to get in touch with PrimeTek. In addition, contributors have access to all PrimeVue add-ons like Premium Templates, Blocks, and UI Kit free of charge.
When a community member is offered the Contributor role, they are expected to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for legal purposes. This helps protect both the contributor and PrimeTek.
