I’ve always enjoyed working on Open Source projects in my free time. I found it appealing to give the community something back when I used the tools they work on in their very own free time and I like the idea to come in contact with many bright folks 🙂
Nowadays as a family father of four, time is short, but contributing to Open Source projects still is kind of a daily driver, be it through bug reports or needed upstream patches. You can see my GitHub profile for my most recent activity in this area.
