Earlier this year, I started contributing to open source -- and enjoy doing it.

From this experience, I learned two main lessons:
1. You can start contributing anytime,
2. You don't need to code to contribute.

For non-developers, you can contribute in many (7) different ways:
- Sponsor open-source projects,
- Translate,
- Document,
- Test,
- Manage issues,
- Design,
- Engage in communities -- joining discussions, giving talks, and helping spread the word.

There's more. 

You can support open-source projects on Product Hunt, too.
