How to Contribute to Open Source Projects the Right Way in 2025

In this video, I share a complete roadmap for making impactful open-source contributions based on my 20 years of experience in tech. I revealed common myths—like the idea that a few GitHub commits will get you hired—and explain why the real value lies in consistency, quality, and community engagement. Whether you’re a developer or not, I’ll walk you through actionable ways to contribute meaningfully—bug fixes, documentation, UI feedback, testing, and more. I also explain how open source can lead to powerful opportunities like career growth, speaking gigs, and personal branding. If you’re confused about how to start or frustrated with not being noticed, this guide is for you. Open source is not just about code—it’s about contribution, clarity, and community.
