Contributing to FOSS as a Sysadmin (infosec.pub)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

11 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I am currently learning to be a sysadmin and I have no software development skills. I love FOSS very much and want to contribute to several projects, including non-networked ones.

How can I do this with my skillset? I have a very small (16GB RAM) server that I could offer to these projects as a build server or web host. IDK what else I could do.

Build something that you want. Find that niche that isn't well served by existing projects and fill the void. Either by making something entirely new or adding a feature to something already out there.

OP says they have no software development skills, so when you recommend for OP to build something they want, make something entirely new, add a feature, etc…how do you mean?
