Be a GIVER
Open source communities depend on contributions.
Contribute once per day but how can you add the
most value?
Here’s how. become a GIVER, every day
Groups Inspire Value Evangelize Resources
Contribute to Groups Facebook groups, forums, IRC, StackOverflow, even github
issue lists. People need help. Unblock them & the community progresses.
Inspire & mentor others Be selfless, humble and encourage others,
both beginners and advanced. People aren’t just there for the code, they want to grow & collaborate.
Add value Extend the core with libraries, plugins, modules, etc.
Start with something valuable to you, as chances are it’s valuable to the community.
Evangelize locally Devs are more likely to join a community
if there’s a local presence. Start/attend meetups, help find sponsors, reach out to schools, etc.
Evangelize globally Use social media to help advertise the community's
successes and milestones, get others excited for new releases or new modules.
Resources Help beginners learn and grow by creating resources (how-to’s,
tutorials, posts, give talks, etc.). Communities don’t grow without plentiful resources.
Contribute once per day but how can you add the
most value?
