Just a question

people using OSS, what have you done to make anything better over the years

I think my biggest accomplishment was this -> The smily code in wordpress blogging software where i had to re-do some of the parsing code to make smilies render correctly.

Here's my other list:
List of bugs in gentoo i've fixed
List of bugs in gentoo i've fixed
They can be accessed by -> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41129
Replace ID with the ID in the image

Soo, yeah, 9 bugs in gentoo .. 7 which have been fixed

I should really spend more time breaking stuff ;)

I rarely contribute. However, I try to use F/OSS software where I can in my own company and in clients' premises, or dual-licensed stuff:

Examples off the top of my head:
CentOS
Request Tracker
Alfresco
Jenkins
IPCop

and of course, lots more.

reflum,

I did a µRoar (a software project I'm involved) fix two days ago based on a Debian bug report. The fix was already accepted into Debian. This evening I hope I can write another filter for the light control system I'm working on. That's also free software. :)
