邮寄名单
GDAL的开发人员和用户参与GDAL邮件列表。询问如何使用GDAL、如何将GDAL集成到您自己的软件中以及报告您可能遇到的问题是可以的。
GitHub
请访问http://github.com/OSGeo/GDAL以提交您可能遇到的软件问题。GitHub也是您可以在 git 修订控制系统。GDAL项目渴望以各种形式做出贡献，我们欢迎那些愿意卷起袖子开始提交票据、推送代码、生成构建和回答问题的人。
闲聊
You can find some GDAL developers in the IRC channel #gdal on Libera.Chat. This mechanism is usually reserved for active meetings and other outreach with the community. The Mailing List and GitHub avenues are going to be more productive communication channels in most situations.

治理和社区参与
OSGeo项目成员
最初，GDAL是由Frank wartemdam领导的，Frank wartemdam是GDAL/OGR的原著作者，尽管有很多人的贡献和意见。截至2006年2月，GDAL/OGR成为 Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) 并开始向更面向社区的治理模式过渡——符合OSGeo的期望。
作为OSGeo项目的成员，可以保证GDAL/OGR项目正在采用各种最佳实践，并且可以保证用户和贡献者负责项目的运行和项目的连续性。特别地：
一个以协商一致为导向的项目管理委员会将负责该项目。
将审查项目源代码和贡献，以确保代码正确可用，保护GDAL/OGR的贡献者和用户。
项目所使用的系统基础设施的一部分由基金会提供，负责备份和冗余，以减少中断。
项目指导委员会
As of April 2006 (following the GDAL/OGR 1.3.2 release) the project has been placed in the hands of a Project Steering Committee. This project steering committee operates under the rules of RFC 1：项目管理委员会指南, and is overall responsible for decisions related to the GDAL/OGR project. The current members are (@github username):
