Participate

how to participate

opensource.com is a community of purpose. We bring together people who believe in sharing knowledge, collaborating to solve problems, and furthering intellectual freedom.

Our goal is to share knowledge about the open source movement and further the open source way. This movement is made up of those who understand how and why building effective structures of participation are essential in tackling the business, social, environmental, and technological challenges facing all of us.

We need your help.

Here's how:

First, create an account.

Then give us your ideas. We want to hear your thoughts on what opensource.com should be.

We need your opinions and your voice.

All communities depend on building ideas and encouraging positive debate. Respond to what you see. Make comments. Build on the ideas of others.

And you'll be able to easily see who talks and who walks. We've put in place a system of points and badges to help you know who's who. Earn your own points by commenting, rating, or writing--we're always on the lookout for a Rock Star.
