[PLUG-TALK] Opportunity for people 50 years+ to participate in a research study to contribute to open source

[Jen D]

All of those things would count as contributions.

I'm looking for people who have never contributed at all to open source
before - no bug reports, no documentation edits, no code patches, etc. That
said, if they've *used* open source, that's totally acceptable (and
encouraged!).
