    Existing established open source projects? Basically never.

    My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.

      Similar. But I do contribute by adding things I want to some projects I use if it’s simple enough.

      And my pile of shit has like 40 stars, so maybe I have one or two other users besides me.

    104 contributions in last year on codeberg, 52 contributions on github (some are duplicated from codeberg due to mirroring), some more in other places.

    I like to think that using FOSS daily, singing its praises to everyone and filing out the occasional bug report counts.

      Mine also look like that.

      The reason is that my obsidian vault sync to a private repo.

        Yeah, we altered our releases so we could get bug fixes out quicker - separate from features.

        In fact, 2.0.5 is scheduled for release tomorrow 🤘

    I donate ~30$ a month divided over a few projects but I want to donate more once I can and also to bigger things that would donate for me to many projects and not just the ones that I think of (please give suggestions to such projects or foundations!)

    I’d guess about monthly to bimonthly, in the sense of submitting a fix for an issue that affects/concerns me/my use of open source projects.

    Every year, around Christmas I donate to a project that I use a lot. Also some projects more than once (wikipedia, Signal)

    If it’s something easy to fix or add, worth the time to make a pull request.

    Otherwise mostly bug reports and feature requests lol

    I write a lot of my own software and open source it. And very few of those projects ever have/get any contributions from anyone else. In fact, most of the recent ones literally only have one commit out on Gitlab. And it’s pretty rare that I contribute to existing open source projects.

    Many years ago, I contributed as part of my job a fair amount to a some WYSIWYG documentation writing web app associated with the Gentoo project. I think that web app is long-since dead and gone. (Not my fault, I promise. Lol.)

    Oh, also, I wrote a lot of code as part of the same job that I was always promised would be open sourced, but I kindof had to leave without pushing that issue and that code hasn’t ever been open sourced. It’s bullshit that still bothers me today, but there’s nothing really that I can do about it now. The place is out of business. I could theoretically contact the guy who was in charge (he would have inherited all of that company’s intellectual property and would have the right to open source it now), but that guy’s the kind of person I’d much rather never have any contact with again. It’s a whole thing.

    Since then, nothing concrete I can think of.
