Open Source Memes

Open Source: where software is free as in speech, free as in beer, and maintainers are free from sleep. These memes celebrate the collaborative ecosystem that powers most of modern technology, built by volunteers who are simultaneously thanked and harassed for their efforts. If you've ever contributed to a project only to have your PR ignored for months, starred repositories you'll never actually use, or explained to non-technical people that yes, companies make money from free software, you'll find your community here. From the special joy of getting your first contribution merged to the existential dread of maintaining a project that becomes unexpectedly popular, this collection captures the beautiful chaos of building in public for the common good.
