Existing established open source projects? Basically never.
My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.
Same here; also I once sent vim, the FreeBSD Foundation, & Thunderbird $5 each.
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.
I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.
Does that count?
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.
Its practically been all my free time in the past 14 years

Almost daily to the Jellyfin Roku client.
Come join us if you want to work on some cool crap!
Thank you very much, I’ve been noticing it’s been getting a lot of good little updates recently
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 🤘
At the moment never.
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!)
Practically every day.
Don’t do NixOS kids…
As often as a I can.
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.
I’ve created/maintain 5 programs for this rather niche but rather popular Linux based tablet. All of my programs exist to give the owners more freedom with their device and gives users a plausible way to avoid uploading all of their data to the company’s cloud. I created installation scripts but also packed the programs into the community package manager. The programs are all feature complete so I hop on every other week or so for basic maintenance and to test how my programs work after the tablet updates. I’m pretty much always around to help users troubleshoot.
Past that I have a few random contributions to OSS I use for bugs I’ve identified and have been able to fix.
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.
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
