Open source is awesome.
None
None
All frontend code is open source by default.
The web is open by default.
Design ( Not so open )
“Developers are more open, contribute code and discuss about bettering
each other...
“...While Designers seem secretive, ego- filled and seeking pointless exclusivity.”
The feeling is mutual. ( See, we agree on something!
)
“We’re all making software.”

Misconception #1
Open source = Giving your work away for free
Open source != Giving your work away for free
None
Don’t give away anything that pays your rent.
Build a portfolio.
None
Work with developers.
None
Leave your comfort zone.
But what about my secret sauce?
None
Misconception #2

open source projects.
If you know HTML and CSS...
Or like designing logos, identity...
Or even illustrating...
Then you can contribute to an open source project.
None

Misconception #3
Open source is hard.
GitHub is hell-bent on lowering the barrier to contributing to
open source projects.
