Advice for Non-Technical Folks - We need you. There are many skills we need in open source. Come to a conference, talk to people in the community and ask them how you can contribute and get involved. Legal, Marketing, Design, Finance, Community, DEI and so many other skillsets and experiences are needed. And we have work to do to value these diff contributions. And Projects need to make it clear in their getting involved docs, governance and culture that they are a community that welcomes all people. And should post issues for non-tech needs. And reward thru recognition non-tech contributions. Community awards, Mktg awards etc. Often contributors acquire luminary and respected status and that is great. I love seeing non-technical folks join the governing boards or leadership of projects. And talks of all kinds at Open Source Events. All this signals that we are a diverse community of talented people.
