How To Help
===========
Types of help
-------------
There are many ways to help the Ansible project.
Become a user
-------------
Become a power user
-------------------
A great way to help the Ansible project is to become a power user. Use Ansible everywhere you can. Take tutorials and classes. Read the `official documentation <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/index.html>` and some of the `many excellent books <https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_7?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=ansible&sprefix=ansible%2Caps%2C260>` about Ansible. `Get certified <https://www.ansible.com/training-certification>`.
When you become a power user, your ability and opportunities to help the Ansible project in other ways will multiply quickly.
Ask and answer questions online
-------------------------------
There are many forums online where Ansible users ask and answer questions. Reach out and communicate with your fellow Ansible users. Ask good questions, and give good answers.
You can find the official Ansible communication channels `here <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/communication.html>`.
Participate in your local meetup
--------------------------------
There are Ansible meetups `all over the world <https://www.meetup.com/topics/ansible/>`. Join your local meetup. Attend regularly. Ask good questions. Volunteer to give a presentation about how you use Ansible.
If there isn't a meetup near you, we'll be happy to help you `start one <https://www.ansible.com/ansible-meetup-organizer>`.
