When you use OOFEM, and especially if you use it to accomplish real work, I would like very much to hear from you. An official letter from your company with short description of OOFEM application can help us significantly when asking for further support.

Please consider telling you use OOFEM on the ohloh.net site. Be cool and join ohloh. Register and stack oofem. It makes the developers happy!

There are a number of ways that you can contribute to help make OOFEM a better FEM system. Perhaps the most important way to contribute is to write high-quality code to extend or improve the functionality, and to make your code freely available for others to use.

If you've already written a useful class or module for OOFEM that you would like to make available for others to use, please send it to the project e-mail info@oofem.org. Messages sent to this list will be seen by the maintainers, and will be considered for inclusion in future releases of OOFEM.

If you are not a programmer and cannot provide funding or contribute code, you can still help make OOFEM better and more reliable by reporting any bugs you find in the latest version and/or by offering suggestions for ways to improve OOFEM. The OOFEM developers appreciate to hear from you!

Last but not least, updates and contribution to the web pages and OOFEM WIKI are highly appreciated.
