Have you heard of Open Source software? You can literally find hundreds of thousands of software projects that publish their sources under free licenses for you to improve upon. I am sure you have some hobbies or niche interests where software could use a little help.
- Twisell 10y agoIndeed but what about when your skills set don't involve software developpement? What's interesting in this question is actually that what work for FOSS might be working for other tasks. Like for instance à project like "let's develop together a good blueprint for a eco-neutral house" where architects/carpenters/engineers/electrician/phd/lawyer/mason/painter/layman/etc could contribute in a Git Like fashion.
- bbcbasic 10y agoYes but who benefits from this volunteering? Mostly people and corporations making a profit leveraging what you did for free. Needy people... not so much.
