I am currently learning to be a sysadmin and I have no software development skills. I love FOSS very much and want to contribute to several projects, including non-networked ones.

How can I do this with my skillset? I have a very small (16GB RAM) server that I could offer to these projects as a build server or web host. IDK what else I could do.

being able to reproduce crashes or bugs then documenting will help a lot.

i just dont have the time to decipher vague tickets from users.

take a look at open issues and see if you can reproduce them.
