<p>I've always thought companies should contribute to open-source software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<p>Contributing to the software you use will improve the software, whether adding new features, fixing a bug, or contributing translations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="here%27s-the-thing...">Here's the thing...</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
|
|
|
|
<p>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>
