Take part!

Open source software is developed by the open source community. This is a group of individuals - just like yourself - as well as corporations and government agencies. There are no entry requirements to taking part: just enthusiasm and your own ability.

There are many ways to be involved which are listed in this section:

• Contribute individually as a developer
• Work for an organisation that releases open source software
• Join one of the developer communities
• Build a project on one of the many "forge" websites
• Take part in the setting of new open standards
• Attend a conference
• Speak at a conference
