Let's face it, in today's open-source project climate, the feeling of having to be a GitHub expert is real! Not only that, it can be quite intimidating as a non-developer when interacting with dev gurus! So how do I effectively participate, even if I am not a developer?

We'll discuss non-code-based contributions and interaction.
