opensource.microsoft.com VS apparmor-profile-everything

If you want to contribute to big projects like Microsoft or Drupal on your portfolio, feel free. However, if you want to increase your chances of getting your contributions reviewed and merged, I highly recommend aiming for smaller projects. Smaller open source projects tend not to get as crowded as others, which means you might get a higher chance of your contribution being reviewed and merged at a quick pace. As a contributor, I wanted to use Hacktoberfest as an opportunity to work with YAML files for open source projects. Luckily for me, I have been talking to Arshad Khan about this on X(Twitter), so I created greetings YAML files for their projects, FarmHub, Curls, and Tindog. It was a bit of a learning curve as the greetings won’t go through, but after reading that permissions: write-all is helpful in making third-party greetings work, I added that to the files, and bam, my PRs got merged! Hold on, before, you rush off to make Pull Requests, there’s just one strategy that I want to share with you.

Jesse what the fuck are you on about? Open source is pretty neat but you know microsoft has a open source page. If you are gonna say but linux blah blah blah microsoft is a platinum linux foundation member

M$ also has a page with some of their projects and contributions. https://opensource.microsoft.com/

Microsoft has come a really long way in expanding their platform out. They open sourced PowerShell and .NET are actively promoting others ( https://opensource.microsoft.com ) and have full Linux cloud support on Azure.

Microsoft themselves is one of the biggest open source contributors in the world. They've moved big projects like PowerShell to be completely open source. They even own GitHub and are one of the top Linux contributors. https://opensource.microsoft.com

It's ok, the commit is enough

Funny enough, the one the author contributes to. That's the idea behind apparmor-profile-everything and sandbox-app-launcher on Whonix and KickSecure, as far as I know (https://github.com/Whonix/apparmor-profile-everything and https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Sandbox-app-launcher )

https://github.com/Whonix/apparmor-profile-everything/graphs/contributors Author seems to be contributing to something AppArmor based for Whonix so I don't think they are unaware of it existing.

mr. /u/madaidan has done a fair bit of relevant work on Whonix and as you can see it is still far from "everything covered".
