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.
