Your time and skills as Open Source coders are much more valuable than dollars or bare hours. Find a project that intrigues you, and learn more. Lead by example – formal thoughts about open development processes are often hard to capture. Non-code contributions matter too. Encourage the project to build upon or collaborate with other projects, to avoid duplicating effort.
