In October, we kick off our new My Open Source Story series and highlight first-time Opensource.com contributors. Join us in our Most Open Month!
Here are ways to participate:
- Submit your story to us.
- Share this article with a friend who might have an open source or Linux story to tell or project to share.
- Read our collection.
The My Open Source Story series is a collection of personal stories about how community members got started using open source software or contributing to open source projects, and which tools are favorites. My Open Source Story was inspired by our popular My Linux Story series.
New contributors have a special place in our hearts at Opensource.com because they help us share a diverse mix of stories from communities and projects around the world. You may not identify as a writer, but we can help. Writing for us is a lot easier than you might think—even if English is your second language or you've never been published before.
