<p><a href="/daily/2023/11/03/why-your-company-should-contribute-to-open-source-software">Yesterday's email</a> explained why your company should contribute to open-source software, but why should you contribute as an individual?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Most of the same reasons apply, such as gaining experience and improved knowledge from contributing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As an individual, you can build your own reputation and personal brand.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You'll get exposure from contributions and involvement with initiatives, such as the Drupal admin UI improvements and other core initiatives, which look great on your CV and LinkedIn profile.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This could lead to better career opportunities and potential projects.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've had paid development work directly from my open-source code contributions, as well as public speaking and event organising, so I can vouch for this.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Like companies, if you make money from open-source software - either a salary or from paid projects or courses - it's in your interest to contribute so the software you use is maintained and improved so it's the best it can be.</p>
