Hi, Fabio.

I have called for several friends of mine to contribution to some open source projects recently.

doubting they have the right skills

As long as I have experienced, this seems almost true.
They said they were not confident in their skills about not only technology but also English.
Futhermore, one of them said he felt shy because he was unsure to continue contribution.

And I'm in the way to cheer them up, saying, "Nobody may care. Some help will be. Shall we take small steps?"

Companies not giving their employees time to contribute

Sadly, I understand this situation... 😅
