The nature of F/OSS projects causes communities of users, developers, advocates, and businesses to form around them. The Internet makes community development and community participation world-wide activities. What, you say? You aren’t a programmer? F/OSS projects need business partners, instructional and graphic designers, documentation writers, editors, community support volunteers, and bug hunters. In this module we will look at the motivations that cause people to participate in F/OSS communities and we’ll explore how to get involved, even if software development isn’t your thing.
