How can I contribute to the open source community?
| Depending on the project you don't even need to code, some projects need translators, graphical designers or even just testers
But learning to code helps, then you have to find a project to contribute to(github is a good place to find those), read the contributor guidelines and get cracking on whatever you can do to help
All in all it is good to know programming and git but like I mentioned depending on the project you need no experience on those things

At first try to avoid using/supporting proprietary software/standards/services as it is possible.
At second avoid help/support people with issues they have with proprietary software/standards/services.
Avoid to do work for propritary plattforms if its not paid well or at all.
Everything else you are free to do what you want with whom you want and how you want. And try to survive ;)

| 1. What kind of knowledge is needed?
2. Is it possible to help other developers? You must be hired for that?
