Guides/Howtos about how to upstream a feature?

Wed Sep 8 16:24:51 UTC 2021

So you are talking a guide about how to contribute to a project?

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):

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.
There is also a list of external resources and other stuff inside.
