Engage women, have fun, get more out of your open source project

One of the best posts on how to contribute to open source projects was written by Rey Bango and can be found here:

There are also a lot of excellent hacks springing up that focus on helping increase the overall number of contributors to open source projects, including non-profit projects. A great source of these is Code Montage at https://www.codemontage.com/.
