Contribute to Marlin Development
Shared Development. Broad Interests.
The Marlin Developer Community (MDC) is the innovation engine for Marlin. It continues to build on existing Marlin technologies in an open community.
The MDC’s mission is twofold – to develop specifications for an interoperable DRM platform for multimedia service, device and content providers, and to provide open access to these specifications to drive market adoption.
MDC participants take part in standards development, code reviews, and joint development to satisfy the needs of all interests in the value chain.
By encouraging developers to participate, the specifications and code are more robust, targeted, and secure. The MDC publishes the Marlin specifications and developers review, provide updates, and enhance these specifications. They can also propose new specification features and participate in code reviews and joint development. This openness enables any member of the community to contribute. Best practices for deployment emerge with professionally developed source code.
