For those of you who contribute to open source software, how did you originally start?
I'm quite new to the space - I'd really love to start contributing in some way, but I'm quite overwhelmed and I've got no idea where to even begin 
@Bennytek Pick something you use and like. Lurk in the community to get a feel for it. Help others who are asking questions. If you don't know the answer to the question either then help research and answer. If you see the documentation doesn't include that thing, add it. If you can contribute code that's good, you can ask the technical people for help and guidance and explain you'd like to do the work, but also realise not every contribution needs to be code. Other things are valuable too.
@suprjami Thank you! I think that point about other things being valuable too is super important :)
