<p>So you are talking a guide about how to contribute to a project?</p>
<p>I wrote a book that is free and open source (GPL license because
I don't care) on github about my experience in various communities
and activities/roles (115 pages):<br>

<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://daniele.tech/2020/07/contribute-to-open-source-the-right-way-2nd-edition-download-the-free-open-book-now">https://daniele.tech/2020/07/contribute-to-open-source-the-right-way-2nd-edition-download-the-free-open-book-now</a></p>
<p>I wrote it because I got a lot of people asking me that question
so I written a book that has everything from community management
to maintainer or speaker as example.<br>
There is also a list of external resources and other stuff inside.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi friends of Free Software,
just did a small search to see if there are guides out there that explain how
to give a change to a Free Software product. Do you know good ones?
This would be about
* Open a issue or discussion about the feature or fix.
* Write up arguments (technical details, what users are interested in)
* How to contribute code
It should be general (so not specific to a code hosting platform or a Free
Software product or community) and if possible from a credible source (one
where the potential conflicts of interest are known and one that works mainly
by journalistic or scientific standards).
Here are few that were _not_ a good match for me:
*
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/08/03/getting-started-with-contributing-to-open-source/">https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/08/03/getting-started-with-contributing-to-open-source/</a>
( too mich on how to find anything to contribute to, no a specific one.)
*
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/open-source-guides/participating-in-open-source-communities/">https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/open-source-guides/participating-in-open-source-communities/</a>
(too little on how to actually do it.)
* <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute">https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute</a>
(comes from one platform github)

(About writing defect reports.)
* <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://producingoss.com/en/index.html">https://producingoss.com/en/index.html</a>
(From the perspective of producing an FS product and building up a
development community.)
Ideas, anybody?
(Links in German also welcome.)
Best Regards,
Bernhard
