## Spread Knowledge and Awareness
Another great way to contribute, is to spread awareness about the RNode project. Here's some ideas:

- Introduce the concepts of Free & Open Communications Systems to your community
- Teach others to build and use RNodes, and how to set up resilient and private communications systems
- Learn about using Reticulum to set up resilient communications networks, and teach these skills to people in your area that need them

## Contribute Code & Ideas
If you like to build and design, there is plenty of oppertunities to take part in the community around RNode, and the wider Reticulum community as well. There's always plenty of work to do, from writing code, to translating guides and information, to designing parts, devices and integrations. You can find us the following places:
