Use it whenever you can, it will force you to understand how to do
real stuff with it properly.
I do hackathons with it.

As complementary to the infrastructure, code standards, libraries and
so on, a needed contribution, from the social dynamics perspective, are
hachathons and workshops. We're making them regularly here (link at [1],
in Spanish), with a critical data/code literacy approach. Last week we
have our 5th edition and this week we're going to make an agile 6th edition.

I found the Pharo community very open to contribution. The fast feedback
loop [2] is experienced here in a very visible way and most of the time
the community is welcoming (with notable few exceptions, "ad hominen"
attacks and poor argumentation, but also with a good self-correcting
feedback from the broader community).

So is not a perfect place, as any other, but you'll find a way of
contributing that is considered worthy and encouraged and even supported
with economical resources from Pharo Association / Consorcium from time
to time.
Welcome here, you and your contribution ;-),
