MYTH: YOU HAVE TO BE A PROGRAMMING WIZARD TO CONTRIBUTE

THREE THINGS
Projects need contributions from people of all skill levels & expertise

A SMALL CONTRIBUTION IS BETTER THAN NO CONTRIBUTION

THE BEST PROJECT TO START WORKING ON IS ONE THAT YOU USE ALREADY.

LISTENING
Listening is the best way to knowwhat the project needs.

WORKING WITH TICKETS
Code is the heart of anyopen source project, butdon’t think that writingcode is the only way tocontribute.
Often bugs are fixed inthe codebase but ticketsreported about them don’tget updated in theticketing system.
Close fixed bugs2
Bugs are often poorlyreported. Diagnosing andtriaging a bug can helpsave developers time.
Diagnose a bug1

WORKING WITH CODE
Programmers of allexperience levels canhelp with the code inthe project. Don’t thinkthat you have to be acoding genius to makereal contributions toyour favorite project.
This is normally wherepeople want to start.
Fix a bug2
Any project that’s designed torun on multiple platforms canhave all sorts of portabilityproblems.
Test a beta or releasecandidate1
Write a test
Moar tests, please.

WORK WITH COMMUNITY
Open source is only partly about code. Community makes open sourcework. Here are ways you can help build it up.
If you’ve got ablog, write aboutyour experienceswith the projectthat you’re using.
Most programmersdon’t havedesign talents.
The best way tohelp build thecommunity is byhelping others.

WE ARE A COMMUNITY OF CODERS, BUT IF ALL WE DO IS CODE THEN WE'VE LOST THE COMMUNITY
