I've always thought companies should contribute to open-source software.<\/p>\n\n
Whether it's financial or contributing time, if companies use free, open-source software (and especially if they're directly making money from it).<\/p>\n\n
Contributing to the software you use will improve the software, whether adding new features, fixing a bug, or contributing translations.<\/p>\n\n
Having contributors to the software is a great way to differentiate your company from the competition, and the knowledge gained from contributing will result in better code for your projects.<\/p>\n\n
If you organise or sponsor events such as conferences and meetups, you also get exposure from the event and help support the event and community.<\/p>\n\n
I've recently pledged to donate a percentage of income from Drupal-related services to the Drupal Association and would like to see others do the same if they can.<\/p>\n\n
I also sponsor several individuals and organisations on GitHub who build software and create content I use so I get better tools and knowledge for myself and my projects.<\/p>\n\n
If your company can contribute to open-source, I'd encourage them to do so and help support open-source software projects and communities.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
