Pretty self-explanatory. Would love to use some of my extra time to help any OSS projects that fit my skill set (and give back). Any recommendations on best way to find these type …

I think you’re being downvoted because of that very first sentence (no matter how much I hate the guy, laying the blame 100% on his frail shoulders seems a bit hyperbolic). But I d…
