The Power of Non-Code Contributions in Open Source

Staff Reporter

Both.org published an article shedding light on the significance of non-code contributions in open-source projects. At DrupalCon North America 2023, EPAM Solution Architect John Picozzi delivered a compelling talk emphasizing the importance of these contributions and how anyone can get involved. Departing from the traditional notion that contribution solely involves writing code, Picozzi's talk highlighted the evolution of the Drupal community's perspective, valuing non-code contributions on par with coding efforts.

The article is a textual adaptation of Picozzi's enlightening discourse, exploring the diverse facets of open-source participation beyond coding. It emphasizes that open-source ecosystems thrive not only on code but also on the collaborative efforts of attendees, speakers, trainers, and organizers in events like meetups, camps, and conferences. This inclusive approach broadens the scope of contribution, recognizing that active participation, idea-sharing, questioning, and providing assistance are all valuable forms of engagement within the open-source community.
