- ask questions or talk about things in our [discussion forums](https://discuss.libp2p.io), or open an [issue](https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/issues) for bug reports, or #libp2p-implementers on [Filecoin slack](https://filecoin.io/slack).
- ensure you are able to contribute (no legal issues please -- we use the DCO)
- get in touch with @libp2p/go-libp2p-maintainers about how best to contribute
- No drive-by contributions seeking to collect airdrops.
- Many projects aim to reward contributors to common goods. Great. However,
this creates an unfortunate incentive for low-effort PRs, submitted solely to
claim rewards. These PRs consume maintainers’ time and energy to triage, with
little to no impact on end users. If we suspect this is the intent of a PR,
we may close it without comment. If you believe this was done in error,
contact us via email. Reference this README section and explain why your PR
is not a “drive-by contribution.”
- have fun!

There's a few things you can do right now to help out:
- Go through the modules below and **check out existing issues**. This would be especially useful for modules in active development. Some knowledge of IPFS/libp2p may be required, as well as the infrastructure behind it - for instance, you may need to read up on p2p and more complex operations like muxing to be able to help technically.
- **Perform code reviews**.
- **Add tests**. There can never be enough tests.
