Contribution

Everybody has something to contribute!

Drupal is made possible by a very diverse group of people around the globe using a huge variety of skills including but not limited to user experience design, project management, development, planning, testing, bug reporting, performance analysis, integration, triage, event organization, marketing, session recording, photography, translations, book authoring, and the list goes on and on. Some examples:

Translators — You are good in a written language other than English? We need you!
Content Strategists — Want to work on reorganizing the documentation and improving the content quality? We need you!
Project Managers — You want to bring forward certain initiatives and know how to build a team with different expert skill sets and how to facilitate progress? We need you!
Marketers — You have ideas for advancing the promotion of Drupal and need a team? And you are good at sharing your strategy insights? We need you too!

And that is just for starters! If you have ideas on how to contribute, participate in our contribution opportunities.

When and how to join contributors?

Drupal Developer Days are all about contribution. There are contribution rooms and spaces throughout the whole week, while sessions, BoFs, and other events are happening as well. Just walk up to the promoted contribution teams, introduce yourself and say you are there to help. Everybody likes people who offer to help, so don't be afraid. For contribution topics and join one of them, please sign up here http://bit.ly/DDD2019Contrib.
