Contributing to a project means publishing it in open source and making it available to other potential collaborators to ideate and build on.
When creators publish their work online with an open source license, it allows potential collaborators to build on or modify, systematically and always with proper credits.
There are various kinds of licenses available, choice of license depends on the material being published and author of the work. The program will guide participants in this regard as projects get developed.
The project is geared towards developing innovative ideas without always reinventing the wheel. It’s aim is that creators work on projects or innovate from working together and sharing resources and knowledge.
