Calling all tech writers! Open source benefits when we all contribute. If you've struggled to deploy a project - or hear people moaning about a lack of docs - help improve the docs! Thank you @Didicodes #opensource #devops #cloud
I had an amazing time talking to the attendees at @AllThingsOpen today. The open source ecosystem needs more technical writers. If you are a technical writer, you should consider contributing💛. #AllThingsOpen

I tend to ask "why" questions which can place people on the defensive, so when someone is new I explain that their contribution is welcome but without test cases, it could fall on someone else to fix issues and that someone won't have the context the contributor has

I try and walk them through. I can't assume anything about their experience level or access to resources, so generally I want to see in the PR something about what testing was performed. If nothing else, it lets me know if I need to test something specific before merging.

Within the code contributor space, the worst always has something to do with testing before making a pull request. Usually the lack of testing or an expectation for a merge with a LGTM. The bigger the change set, the more likely to get the "but, but, but" argument.

Best case is finding out that your project has become a cornerstone of their business, and you've never heard of the business. Then having them step up to become a community leader in their own right.

For me it's users who think open source projects are commercial software. Stuff like wanting roadmap presentations, getting angry that features are "taking too long", or a "what's taking so long to fix this bug" sentiment
