104 contributions in last year on codeberg, 52 contributions on github (some are duplicated from codeberg due to mirroring), some more in other places.
About 35.0% of my waking life is contributing to FOSS.
Mostly its filing bug reports. Sometimes I write my own code
Since for the most part i still suck at programming; i help translating programs in my main language since i needed to learn english for my job regardless.
code: null, nada, nothing. dunno how issues: maybe 30 in 9 years using gnu/linux money: 1% of my income for 5 years now, to whatever project i find cool, mostly smaller ones tho
I've created one project that no one uses. I've found a lot of friction contributing to existing projects. There has to be:
- something to do
- the maintainer is cool with having it done
- the maintainer is okay not doing it themselves
- is within my expertise or requires an acceptable amount of ramp up learning
Then I have to make sure to learn their code of conduct and do it exactly the way they want. Do they want testing? Do they want me to update the docs? So I have to get green light from maintainer to start? Etc.
Not often but I have a moment where I do. Last year I contributed a plugin for MusicBrainz Picard which allows you to submit your genre tags to MusicBrainz. I want to give it a proper good update in the future but I'm so focused on other things right now.
Semi-regularly.
I fairly often send patches for small bug fixes and features. I also maintain a few packages in nixpkgs. I also forked an abandoned project to provide some fixes and updates, so I maintain that now.
I also try to give a donation to an open-source project that I use every couple of months.
I also have a bunch of my own projects that I released as open source, but I don't think that is really what the question is asking.
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 done a few wiki posts and issues. I'm not a bad programmer but my ADHD makes the scaffolding around OSS contribution a lot harder than the actual programming aspect. So I've been sorta nervous to jump in.
Data for open street map, open voice, open assistant, some translation issues, bug reports, and small bug fixes
So I would say couple things a month
Unfortunately never. I'm no Linux programmer and I have no idea how to use that space-shuttle-cockpit-shaped menu for crowd translation
I've done a few documentation contributions for some projects. Turns out that technical writers and editors are appreciated in certain places.
Its also horrible lacking in most projects (cough Lemmy)
Sadly, I've contributed docs to some projects only to have the devs delete it. They profited off of their hosting solution, so the wanted it to be unclear how to self host it
