SRS has a community of thousands of developers.

On this page we've listed some SRS-related communities that you can be a part of; see the other pages in this section 
for additional online and in-person learning materials.

## Donation

We are an open-source community, with both code and documentation available for free. However, it is 
essential to spend time understanding the documentation and learning how to use this project. Most issues 
can be resolved through the documentation, and in cases where you still encounter problems, you can seek 
assistance from other community members. Friends in the community might offer help, but they are not 
obligated to do so, as it's a universal rule of open-source communities.

Our documentation and code are open and free, so you don't need to sponsor the community to access these resources. We are a truly open-source community. Please visit [OpenCollective](https://opencollective.com/srs-server) to become a backer or sponsor.
