Typically people think there is a difference between software users and developers. Users use software, while developers write it. How does one transition between just using software and making it? One easy way to help free software projects is to report bugs and suggest features. This talk will walk you through the step-by-step process of finding a project where your contribution will be useful, downloading the project, compiling the project, running the project, and reporting bugs. No prior programming knowledge is necessary to understand this talk, but prior knowledge of GNU/Linux would be helpful.
