+# Resultium Public Gitea Organization
+
+Welcome to the Resultium Public Gitea organization! This space hosts our public data - open source projects and branding materials. Below you'll find information on our projects and how you can engage with them.
+
+## Featured Projects
+
+- [**number-to-words**](https://git.resultium.net/public/number-to-words): a lightweight number to words conversion library supporting Latvian locale
+- [**rcz**](https://git.resultium.net/public/rcz): commit standardization library
+- [**branding**](https://git.resultium.net/public/branding): Resultium branding materials
+
+## Contributing
+
+**Please do not use platforms like GitHub to host derivative works or forks of our projects as [GitHub are believed to be violating project licenses during their AI training](https://www.finnegan.com/en/insights/articles/insights-from-the-pending-copilot-class-action-lawsuit.html)**
+
+We follow open-source closed-commit philosophy, meaning you are free to read our code, however we do not allow committing *directly*, in order to prevent vandalism and grief. You are still encouraged to contribute by creating patch files and sending them to our contributions email, instructions are available below.
+
+1. Clone a repository with `git clone`
+2. Setup the project, instructions are generally available at project's README
+3. Make changes and commit complying with [Conventional Commits standard](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) or by simply using [rcz](https://git.resultium.net/public/-/packages/npm/@resultium%2Frcz)
+4. Use [`git format-patch`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch) to generate patch files for commits you want to share with us, e.g.
+   ```bash
+   # Generates patch files for three latest commits
+   git format-patch -3
+   ```
+5. Email patch files to [contributing@resultium.io](mailto:contributing@resultium.io)
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you find any issues or have suggestions, email us at [bugs@resultium.io](mailto:bugs@resultium.io). We will create an issue in the respective repository and resolve the bug promptly. If you wish to, we can also include reporter credits as a commit footer, e.g. `Reported-by: John Doe (jdnick) <j.doe@email.com>`.
+
+## License
+
+Each project may have its own license. Please check the LICENSE file in each repository for details. Generally we stick to GPLv3 as we believe contributing back is a major part of open-source philosophy.
