How to contribute in open source project. Part # 1
Introduction
Open source project is one kind of works where people can contribute any kind of creation and also maintenance in the software. It's mean when people think actual contributing in the project works.
Many projects are ongoing in open source project. Day by day new projects are coming to develop in open source by contributing. Such as newrelic, OpenSSL, Busy.org, MinnowSupport, Steemit, Utopian-io, keepassx etc. All are open source project. But we don't know how to contribute in open source project and also no proper guide. So I try to help the beginner who like to contribute in open source project.
For many programmer thought that open source project seems very difficult and also see time consuming. But its need time to make a meaningful contribution to open source project where project can build in a right way. But its just can't do work in one person. Because it's has different section to contribute in open source project.
So getting started to contribute and also see which section you like to comfortable to contribute in open source project.
Bug
Bug report
Bug report in software is one of the most major contribution in open source project. All types of project at least one bug. Because man is not immortal. So this type of contribution is important in open source project.
When anyone can find a bug in open source project you use bug package to contribute how can solve this. Its called project bug tracking system. If you report this bug and contribute in actual way in the project. So developer can easily see this bug or find them and would have fixed them quickly. If you really try to help in project so we go and write project bug and also take a time.
Also can contribute such as you can find bug and also reproduce the system so it can helps developer. Because the problem are narrow down to the developers.
You can see bug in the project in Mac OS X or Linux or windows. So try to reproduce there bug and also reported in the bug tracking system. You can also use many search tool for checking bug and report to bug tracking system.
