However, when you participate in a Plasma project it means that you have to respect the intellectual property rights of other members - you shouldn't directly copy anything done by someone else unless you get their permission.

Q: How should I go about contacting the group?

A: The easiest way to contact Plasma, is through email. This can be done by sending an email to Konstanty and he will pass this message onto everyone else in Plasma, through the website or email. If you are in Brisbane, it is good to bring up issues to the group at the meeting, if not in Brisbane then it is also good to add your agenda item to the agenda as mentioned on the Meetings Page.
