Open Source - Exhilarating
I’m working on getting Totem (the best all-round media player for gnome in my opinion) to work nicer with HTTP authentication when compiled with xine-lib.
Also planning on delving into an authentication framework for xine. Although that is a much bigger issue and I’ll need to brush up on the xine API first…
This is my first ever work on a major open source project and while none of my patches have yet been committed, I feel great. The idea of giving back to the community that has paid my bills for many years is super cool. I wonder if you ever get tired of contributing to open source projects? I’m such a n00b!
update: my very first patch has been submitted
