After nearly 15 years in the IT software industry, I finally submitted my first bug fix to an open source project tonight (Apache Xalan-C++ if you're interested - but probably not). Whether it'll get used or not, who knows, but I submitted it anyway.

So, this got me thinking. I'm sure most here have used open source software (even if it's just a browser like Firefox), but who has actually contributed to an open source project?
 
I thought about complaining, but by that point I'd already fixed the problem as it was preventing me doing my job. Once I'd done that, emailing the fix took less time than registering on a forum and moaning. :p
