10 ways to give thanks to open source and free software maintainers
|
|
======
|
|
How to express your gratitude.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every day, I use high-quality software that is developed and maintained by people who do not ask for payment, who respect my freedoms, and who are generous with their time and energy.
|
|
|
|
In this season of giving thanks, I encourage those of you who also use and appreciate the work of open source and free software maintainers to express your gratitude. Here are ten ways to do that:
|
|
|
|
### Easy to do
|
|
|
|
1. Send an e-mail thanking the developers. Be specific—tell them what you are using their software for and how it has benefited you.
|
|
2. Use your favorite social media platform to spread the word.
|
|
3. Write a blog post about your favorite software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Give money
|
|
|
|
4. If your favorite open source projects accept donations, send money.
|
|
5. If you are employed by a company that uses open source software, see if you can convince management to sponsor some of the projects.
|
|
6. Offer to match donations up to a set amount. It is amazing what social motivation can do!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Give time
|
|
|
|
7. Help review patches.
|
|
8. Help triage bugs.
|
|
9. Answer questions on IRC, mailing lists, or [Stack Overflow][1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**10. Bonus:** If you are like me, you have at some point said harsh words to other people in the open source community. Commit to do better: Communicate with kindness and openness. The best way to give thanks is to make the open source community a place where people feel comfortable communicating.
