Not a Programmer? Linux Needs You!
Inspired by a comment I received yesterday explaining the problems with non-programmers getting involved in helping Linux projects, I have decided to give a little guidance on how to help out if you are not the code monkey type.
Believe it or not, you do not have to be a programmer or have any extensive technical knowledge to help out Linux distributions. Every distribution has it’s own community project. Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE are some of the most popular. These communities are rather large, and include a jobs and work to be done that does not include “can program in three different languages” as part of the description. You might have heard along the way that non-programmers are limited to simply documentation or artwork. However, there is so much more that you can offer a distribution.
How do I know all this to be true? I’m not a programmer.
That’s great, but what can I do?
