Open software needs an open community.

Design, build, test, document, review, and maintain technology with people working in the open.

Different skills. Shared stewardship.

There is more than one way to contribute.

Implement features, fix defects, improve performance, and maintain libraries.

Reproduce bugs, build test suites, validate compatibility, and review releases.

Write references, examples, tutorials, guides, and architecture notes.

Review pull requests, RFCs, security changes, and technical designs.

Improve interfaces, developer experience, diagrams, websites, and project identity.

Explore algorithms, protocols, architectures, and performance techniques.

Develop threat models, review code, test controls, and strengthen defaults.

Manage releases, issues, dependencies, contributors, and project direction.
