unitaryDESIGN Rules

Eligibility

• Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or looking for quantum projects to contribute to for the first time, please register here. You'll need to be registered in order to be eligible to claim your bounties.
• unitaryDESIGN is open to any individuals not employed by Unitary Foundation, no matter their citizenship or nationality, as long as they are not organized or ordinarily resident at the time of participation in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or the Crimea region of Ukraine (or where otherwise prohibited by U.S. law). For more info on what countries might be impacted, please see the US Treasury.
• You may work in teams, but one person must be designated to receive disbursement of the prize money.
• If you are a maintainer, you may still participate and work on issues that are not part of your project.

Submission Requirements

A contribution to a participating project for this hackathon consists of making a pull request yourself to the project's repository. For pull requests resolving bountied issues, the first accepted PR from the project maintainers will receive the prize! Pull requests are reviewed and decisions to accept are made by the project maintainers. Hackers can make contributions anytime between February 16-27 AoE.

Any submissions made after 5pm AoE on February 27th will not be considered, unless a special exception is made in advance by the Unitary Foundation team.

No AI Slop please!! While we are open to collaboration with LLMs for unitaryDESIGN, please note that fully AI-generated PRs are not acceptable. It is up to the discretion of the individual maintainers whether or not LLM-generated PRs are the right fit for their issues, and they have the right to reject those that appear fully AI-generated.

Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Action

All participants and maintainers must adhere to the project's Code of Conduct as well as Unitary Foundation's Community Code of Conduct. Violations of any Codes of Conduct associated with unitaryDESIGN will be addressed by the Unitary Foundation team, with disciplinary actions determined at their discretion and based on the severity of the offense, up to and including a permanent ban. Those who are reinvited to unitaryDESIGN (or other hackathons hosted by Unitary Foundation) for the subsequent year will be placed on probation, with their participation contingent upon adherence to further conditions, again at the discretion of the UF team.
