As such, contributing is really any task that accomplishes that goal. + + Contributing is a great way to give back to a community you love and support where you cannot be part of the staff team or compensate some other way, usually financially. +It is understandable that everyone cannot pitch in through these other means, as everyone is on their own walks of life, so these little things add up and help make a community like Thunix what it is. + +Take my personal case for example: + +I (dovahkin) have been part of Thunix for a good while, about 2(ish) years. I was part of the original Thunix, and honestly was shocked when I heard about the service! +I mean, who wouldn't be?!?! A completely free SSH Shell that offers no caps on pretty much anything, Where the SysAdmins are a message away, with only rudimentary rules? Not to mention an active community, often which is friendly enough to help you when you are doing something stupid or unfamiliar? +HELLS YES. I'll take two! (Anyhow, I digress...) + +I honestly should've contributed more; and I feel that could be said for a majority of the service at the time. +(Mad props to ``hexhaxtron`` for putting up with us on his own time, btw.) +Anyhow; that's a mistake I made sure not to repeat. When I heard about the re-launch of Thunix, I immediately sent 5$ as a donation. +It isn't much when you consider the cost of the bottom line of what it takes to operate Thunix as we know it, but it was what I could spare; and I know it was appreciated :). +Seeing how my financial situation doesn't exactly allow me to be sending donations every month, I put my brain to work on how I might contribute by other means. +I proposed I head and maintain the wiki, as a sort of weekend project; just something to do in my spare time. Look at how it expanded! + + Instead of some random things every week/other week, we have three contributors! All making more pushes to the wiki than I can bear listening to the notifications for! +Something so innocuous, as this little weekend project, turned into a major part of Thunix, and set an example of how powerful small contributions are. +With every push to this wiki, is one less thing that the SysAdmins have to explain to the skid asking questions in IRC (Which is usually me, lets be real....). + +At this point, I am rambling... You get the poimt? Contributing is an effective means to help where one cannot by other means. + +### Cool story bro, now how the fuck is that relevant to outside of Thunix? + + The point was this; No matter how big or small a contribution might be, it has the potential to really affect the entire ecosystem. + +Now, let's talk about the giant in the room, being the way most might be familiar with contributing to; [Git/Version Control.](/top1_sub1).
