Agiledrop's Guide To Open-Source Contribution for Non-Developers
What would you do if you were a beneficiary of the free software ecosystem but did not know how to code, and yet you feel you should contribute back to the community? In May 2022, Agiledrop, a company working in Drupal, PHP, and JavaScript development, released a blog post discussing this scenario. Here is a revisit to that post.
Agiledrop's blog post, "Guide to Open-Source Contribution for Non-Developers," sheds light on how non-developers can contribute to open-source projects. As open-source software forms the core of such projects, anyone willing to contribute can find a way to do so with the help of supportive open-source community members.
The blog provides 9 ways how to contribute without any coding knowledge:
- Editing/Enhancing Documentation
- Website copy & design
- Providing first-hand feedback in your area of expertise
- Promoting the technology
- Organizing and hosting events
- Volunteering at Events
- Project Management
- Sponsorship
- Specific (one-time) initiatives and projects
This blog seeks to help alleviate any trepidation around joining open-source projects and provide the necessary motivation to make the first move.
Agiledrop is a trusted Drupal developer for agencies, and in-house teams work with experienced Drupal developers who follow best practices and standards and are active in the community.
