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

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

    My job is contributing to the building of an open source project full of shared tools and resources for businesses in my industry to share. I am part of a team of skilled developers and citizen developers across my industry that work to create shared FOSS tools to make all of us more efficient at our work.

    So about 60 hours per week.

    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 :(

    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.

    • I have commits accepted to major projects you have heard of. Mainly because I have no patience for a poorly worded README.
    • I co-maintain a couple of mildly popular things you almost certainly haven’t even heard of.
    • I solely maintain a half dozen utilities that are only used by myself and some brave souls who randomly found them on GitHub.

    TL;DR: I am an open source hipster, because “you probably haven’t heard of” my work, but I think it’s pretty keen.

    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!)

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

    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.

    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.
