For the past few years, I've made this tradition of working a bit harder in September so I can have more free time in October and make all the contributions I've been meaning to make.
I never made the PRs specifically to get the shirt, they were things I wanted to do at some point and the shirt was a good incentive to actually get them done.
Just like past years, I have a similar todo list with 10-or-so items this year and started working on it yesterday. All of the contributions I have planned have had open issues for a while and I've discussed them with the maintainers for sometimes months. Now none of them will count towards the shirt.
And I want that god damn shirt! I know it's stupid, but it was really nice to get something sorta-exclusive for doing something good for the open-source community, even if my contributions weren't particularly groundbreaking. I'd gladly pay shipping costs if necessary (actually, I think that would be a good anti-spam measure). But now I'll have to spend more time looking for tagged projects to contribute to and probably end up not finishing some of my planned PRs.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoA sincere "thank you" from a good person such as an open source project maintainer means so much more to me than a consumerist t-shirt. Your comment reminded me of a 1-word PR I sent that fixed a bug in a project, and it gives me a glow in my stomach thinking about now, months later. You can go on cafe press and by yourself any t-shirt you want.
