Even if you are not a programmer, there are many things to do: testing, documentation, evangelism and so on. - -Since you are sharing your time and effort with us to make the project better, we are also happy to share our LTS release maintenance effort with you. -Every active contributor can get access to prebuilt LTS images. - -We also issue contributor badges through YourAcclaim that you can put on your CV. - -<div class="cta">Already a contributor? <a href="/contributor-subscriptions">Claim your rewards</a></div> - -# Funding model - -VyOS is funded through cloud marketplace images, prebuilt LTS image subscriptions, and support/consulting services. |
