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 $5 each.
Similar. But I do contribute by adding things I want to some projects I use if it’s simple enough.
And my pile of shit has like 40 stars, so maybe I have one or two other users besides me.
I try to contribute as much info as I can to Open Street Map on my walks.
Same I’m mapping out my community and adding missing locations
I’ve been loving it. Weirdly scratches the same itch Pokémon Go did for a while, plus it’s something actually useful.
Is there an app that makes this easier to do? I want to contribute but I don’t see a setting or option in osmand
Have you heard of StreetComplete on Android?
Nope I haven’t! Thanks for the link!
StreetComplete is the one I use, although there’s a handful. It’s on both the play store and Fdroid
Awesome, thank you!
I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.
Does that count?
Yes!
I like to think that using FOSS daily, singing its praises to everyone and filing out the occasional bug report counts.
No it doesnt XD
Going to time and effort to help improve something = contributing
Absolutely love others testing my code for me because they find things I would’ve never run into myself
104 contributions in last year on codeberg, 52 contributions on github (some are duplicated from codeberg due to mirroring), some more in other places.
Mine also look like that.
The reason is that my obsidian vault sync to a private repo.
My main hobby is designing and programming embedded devices, and anything I create gets slapped up on my github in case anyone else can use it. Schematics, code, whatever.
I have a side hustle of selling the PCBs I make, but I have absolutely no problems with someone making a clone of my designs. It’s not like they’re super advanced tech. Anyone can figure out what I’ve figured out.
I donate ~30$ 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 think thats called taxes!
There should be more government funding for floss. Both by prioritizing floss projects to use and direct funding to projects that arent useful to govts.
True, but until then
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.
Good on ya
As much as I can. I can’t code at all and don’t work in IT, but at least I try to help newcomers as much as I can, publish my work as OS license, try to heat up as much traffic as I can on Lemmy (especially for non-tech stuff) and report bugs whenever I find them.
I can’t do much more :(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.
Practically every day.
Don’t do NixOS kids…
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.
