When was the last time you helped to make open source software better ?

Are you a person who uses open source software ?
Do you like it ?
Did you spend until now time to make it better ?

For the first question your answer might be: yes
If the answer for the second is also yes, I would be interested in the third answer.

With this posting I do not want to tell you about the many advantages as a tester to use open source software (practicing your skills; getting to know other, public, collaborative projects; …). No, I ONLY want to invite you to help (if I think about how many people out there could help, my head is swimming).

I am sure, if you give the open source community feedback, they will appreciate this, because:

  1. it will be feedback
  2. it will be (hopefully) good communicated feedback about a bug or feature


Would it cost so much for you to help ?
