Some open source projects are very welcoming, some not so. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to try to contribute only to be 'greeted' with deafening silence. They should *always* value contributors as that is the future for these projects.
I just found myself asking this: "What is needed to get this thing moving? Or is 'the silence' the way of saying no thank you?"

I think I know the answer... now asking myself "why did I even bother in the first place".

What is a better start of work after holidays then to do a PR to an Open Source project #kunena

It's where appreciation meets appreciation where the magic happens!
This is what drives me to contribute. this is what (imo) makes open source communities thrive.

How do you contribute to opensource projects you use?

Fresh start after the holidays, feels good to start 'work' again: I love my job!
#joomla #webdev #LifeOfaDeveloper

Just released 22 (!) new major versions for my extensions as Release Candidate. All technical debt removed so we are good to run on #Joomla 6 and (minimum) Joomla 5.3. Sending out newsletter tomorrow.
What a trip....
Biggest conclusion in making these extensions Joomla 6 ready is that I have to many extensions #lol
Still one very big extension to go... will take me again a couple of days work, but hé... the Joomla show must go on :)

On the menu today: finishing a new custom extension for a customer with which he can sync #joomla articles between sites: going to use it to create a global site for marketing purposes where regional content is then imported and linked to.
Concept is cool and can be extended with other content (categories, tags, users) to... Syncing can be many-to-many

... and it's a wrap...
created 6 video's for two of my extensions #OthersAreComingButNotSoon

These are for ochFoundation5: people are always asking me why I'm so enthusiastic about that extension :)

Good morning fellow fediversers #TGIF

What are you up today?

#joomla #JoomlaDevelopment #LifeOfaDeveloper

Some small code improvements / new ideas for existing extensions planned here, nothing with priority so taking it easy today :)

So yesterday my eye caught a blog posted here on Mastodon that had an added link to the authors profile here on the fediverse. Cool!
Will be adding fediverse metatags to my #joomla ochOpenGraph plugin so we can also have full support for this in Joomla.

Is there an overview of metatags specifically for the fediverse, or is there (currently) just one (fediverse:creator)?

even rondje hardlopen komt nooit gelegen en dus is er geen betere tijd dan nu... de eerste kilometers weer gelopen. Goede gezondheid en conditie is belangrijk!
