FlowSieve is developed as an open resource by the Complex Flow Group at the University of Rochester, under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Continued support for FlowSieve depends on demonstrable evidence of the code’s value to the scientific community. We kindly request that you cite the code in your publications and presentations. FlowSieve is made available under The Open Software License 3.0 (OSL-3.0) (see [the license file](\ref license1) or the human-readable summary at the end of the README), which means it is open to use, but requires attribution.

For presentations, posters, etc.., we suggest acknowledging:
- FlowSieve code from the Complex Flow Group at University of Rochester
- Contributing
- At the current stage of development, anyone seeking to contribute to the FlowSieve codebase is asked to contact the main developers (see Seeking Support) to discuss the best way to integrate their contributions. The codebase is maintained on GitHub, and contributions will ultimately result in merging commits into the main branch.
- It is recommended to use a forked repository for active development, since it allows testing in a separate environment before merging.
- Reporting Issues
- Please report issues using the GitHub issue tracking tools (https://github.com/husseinaluie/FlowSieve/issues). Issues can also be submitted by email (see Seeking Support), but the issue tracker is preferred.
- Seeking Support
- The best way to obtain support is to contact Hussein Aluie or Benjamin Storer by email. Contact information is available at the Complex Flow Group webpage (http://www.complexflowgroup.com/people/).
