Celebration

Whether you set up an account, reported an issue, contributed some code or something else, don't forget to celebrate your achievement.

Open source runs on exactly what you just did: lots of people making contributions of every size. The LocalGov publishing platforms serving millions of people is the sum of the contributions, and the community is grateful for your contribution, it really does all count!

Tell the community in Slack — we love hearing about first contributions. Check your contribution record from time to time and make sure you and your organisation receive the credit.

Mark the occasion however you see fit: a cup of tea, a biscuit, a lap of the office.

Then, when you're ready — choose the next piece of contribution, however big or small.
