If competing submissions exist, the best solution will be chosen by a Core Member. All else equal, the first submission will be chosen. +* Once your Pull Request is merged, you can submit an expense to our [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/gulpjs/expenses/new) which includes the link to your submission in the description (e.g. $100 bug bounty claim for https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/pull/2226). You will also need to provide an invoice, see the [Open Collective Expense FAQ](https://opencollective.com/faq/expenses) for more details and to get a Google Docs template that you can use. +* Then, add a comment on your Pull Request, noting that you’ve claimed the money, with a link to your Open Collective expense. This is to ensure the same person who fixed the issue is claiming the money. +* Your expense will be validated by a Core Member and then your payment will be dispersed by Open Collective the following Friday. + +## If you're doing other good things for gulp that end up costing you real money, feel free to reach out and we can discuss helping with those expenses!
