Contributing 101

This is a presentation I was doing on #WroOpenSource. My goal was to show that you don't have to contribute _code_, per se, but there are many more ways to contribute to Open Source.

Second part of the talk I was doing a live contribution to a quite popular iOS project, making sure I describe the whole process of getting into the completely new area with documentation, Issue/PR process etc.
