At the time we did not have a topic posted, but now we do, and I believe<br>some here would be interested in it from a non-Drupal perspective.<br>
<br>The topic is : Contributing to Drupal, and Andrew Berry will be leading the <br>discussion.<br><br>Here is more information <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/48473" target="_blank">http://groups.drupal.org/node/48473</a><br clear="all">
<br>Only a few of us are driver level kernel developers, and this has been seen<br>
for a long time as THE way to contribute to Linux, with such a high technical<br>and community barrier for contributing.<br><br>What would be interesting for the KWLUG folk is that this is a "from the <br>trenches" talk on how to contribute to an open source project. <br>
<br>The reality is that there are many other ways of contributing with much <br>lower bars that we all can do. Although code is often the sexy thing, it is <br>not the only thing, and there are equally important ways to contribute to<br>
an open source project.<br><br>Come over on the 18th of February, and hear from people who do<br>contribute to a successful open source project. <br><br>Perhaps you will find a way so you can too.<div><div></div><div class="h5">
