# Community & Links

Welcome to the Boson Network community. Here is where to find help, report issues, and connect with other operators and developers.

## GitHub

Boson's core library and client SDKs are developed in the open on GitHub under the **bosonnetwork** organization. (The Layer-2 services, Director, and distribution packaging are currently provided as binaries and will be open-sourced later - see [Contributing](/contribute/contribute.md).)

* Questions about the protocol or architecture

## Public bootstrap nodes

These are the bootstrap nodes the project operates. They ship as the defaults in the configuration templates, so a node installed from a package joins the network without any bootstrap configuration of its own.

| Node ID                                        | Address         | Port  |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----- |
| `FyHfVWtscJWUeejGQaJXyUnjUcKFGSVVYmozqBuJSmjo` | 155.138.245.211 | 39001 |
| `66yzSu9imYLtG4TWMZKdk79BXGcX17s2b259taYFeyKw` | 45.32.138.246   | 39001 |

To set them by hand, see the `bootstraps` list in [Configuration](/reference/configuration.md#dht-node). If you run a stable public node and would like it listed, get in touch on Telegram or by email.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bosonnetwork.io/resources/community.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
