一个“自由、自由和开源软件”(FLOSS)项目的成功取决于它吸引新开发人员的能力。然而，在未来的开发商能够贡献他们的第一个补丁之前，他们必须克服FLOSS项目的贡献障碍。本文提出了两种模式。每一种模式都确定了FLOSS项目贡献过程中可能存在的问题，并展示了缓解该问题的实践。第一种模式帮助未来的开发人员编译FLOSS项目的源代码并构建可执行的应用程序。第二种模式鼓励潜在的开发人员将他们的修改提交回FLOSS项目，同时促进将这些修改集成到FLOSS项目的主要开发分支中。
The success of a “Free, Libre and Open Source Software” (FLOSS) project depends on its ability to attract new developers. However, before prospective developers can contribute their first patch, they have to overcome the contribution barriers of the FLOSS project. This paper presents two patterns. Each pattern identifies a possible problem in the contribution processes of FLOSS projects and shows a practice to alleviate this problem. The first pattern helps prospective developers compile the FLOSS project's source code and build an executable application. The second pattern encourages prospective developers to submit their modifications back to the FLOSS project and at the same time fosters integration of these modifications into the main development branch of the FLOSS project.
