1 like560 views
The document discusses ways to contribute to open source projects. It begins by introducing the speaker and defining open source. It then lists several ways for developers to contribute, including code contributions, documentation, reporting bugs, translations, tutorials, ideas/discussions, and evangelism. Specific contribution types are then expanded upon, such as documentation fixes, bug reports with reproduction steps, and writing/translating tutorials. The document encourages contributors to start with "low hanging fruit" like documentation and then provides closing remarks.
