Jonathan and Luke have a chat with Jonathan Desrosiers, WordPress Core Committer and Principle Software Engineer at Bluehost. They discuss a recent episode of Crossword and a preview of Desrosiers’s now published blog post. Wold asks for clarity on do-acracy vs meritocracy and the three discuss the importance of both active and passive contributions. Desrosiers offers his guidance for new contributors.
As a recent guest on the Crossword podcast, I discussed various aspects of open source contribution: when to speak up, how to balance active and passive roles, and why being prepared matters more than people think.
