How to contribute?

That's amazing that you reached this page!
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 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, teach, and build experience in just about any skill you can imagine.
Whether it’s coding, user interface design, graphic design, writing, or organizing, if you’re looking for practice, there’s a task for you on an open-source project.
