-<p class="lead">You need a good simulation tool, and INET needs your help to improve.</p>
-
-## What's In It For Me?
-
-If you are doing research with INET, contributing your changes back to the project means:
-
-*   More visibility for your work
-*   More testing and validation performed by other users
-*   Other users may further improve or build upon your model
-*   Burden of technical maintenance is on the INET core team
-
-If you are a student doing homework or thesis with INET:
-
-*   Expert feedback adds to your expertise and the quality of the end result
-*   Your work will end up being useful for others (instead of landing in the drawer)
-*   It expands your open source portfolio and demonstrates your expertise
-*   Satisfaction from contributing to an open-source project
-
-## Fun Project, Fantastic People
-
-You might enjoy contributing, because:
-
-*   Simulation and hacking on models can be fun in itself
-*   The forum is full of helpful people
-*   You can meet fellow INET people and other OMNeT++ users at the [OMNeT++ Summit][1]{:target="_blank"}! (To get the atmosphere of the event, here's a photo album of the [2014 summit][2]{:target="_blank"}.)
