I’m hoping this will be a returning post of mine, I’ve started a bit during the chrismas holidays and inventoring what open source projects I used the most and could most easily contribute to. The first aim was actually just to get involved in something that used git, so I could have some practice before switching to it entirely at work. But I realised this should be more continous than that. And also, its been a few years since I contributed or at least tried to squirrelmail and seagull. 

Since I do mostly web development, the linux-part didnt feel so likely, or contributing to gnome seemed far away. :)

I’ve been checking out Openphoto on github for a while since I’ve been wanting a self-hosted good and flexible image hosting thingie. So I started there, and actually found a bug, which I could fix with one single simple line. So I sent a pull request, and just like that I was more or less started.

After that I realised phpmyadmin is my everyday tool more or less, I started by setting up the latest master revision and checking the bug-list, to see if there was something that I could easily fix and get acquainted with the codebase. Since I set out to use the dev-master-version in my everyday use I quickly found some inconsistencies(and also found some new neat features), so I’ve filed a few bugs and sent a few patches. Felt good, I’ll definitly try to keep this up.

And timewise, I might have put in like 8 hours during january for this. That seems reasonable, I’ll start tracking it with letsfreckle as well though, just to make sure it doesnt get to much and also to make sure I actually get something done on that time.
