How to contribute?

Memphis is and always will be open-source and community-driven. Our community is our power. 💙

Why should you become a contributor?

"Working on Memphis OS project helped me earn many of the skills I later used for my studies in university and my actual job. I think working on open-source projects helps me as much as it helps the project!"

Contributing to open source can be a rewarding way to learn and increase your experience.

Whether it’s coding, user interface design, graphic design, docs, or writing content, if you’re looking for practice, there’s a task for you on an open-source project.
