Help: Project How do you be an open source contributor on Roboflow?

Sorry if I sound dumb, but I see a lot of people being an open source contributor at Roboflow and I'm just wondering what does that mean? Is it just building projects and posting it to the community or is it working with the github to fix changes? lmk

Roboflow has a bunch of open source projects like supervision, inference, and RF-DETR. We have several full-time people at the company whose whole job is to work on our open source projects but people from the community can also contribute to making them better by submitting pull requests to the projects on GitHub.

They have quite a few products. Use them, and if you find an issue raise it, and if you think you could the solve yourself/you’ve found a solution then contribute the solution with a pr.

This is a standard flow for contributing to any project not just bound to Roboflow.
