The joy of finding your (inclusive) tribe - a newbieās reflections on DevRelCon 2022
For those who donāt know, Marc is responsible for many of the cute critters in the incomparable vscode-pets extension. This extension brings our DevRel team at SeMI tiny morsels of joy and respite on a regular basis, and I couldnāt have been more excited to find out one of the wizards behind the curtain. In his talk, Marc shared his own experiences of how he turned his interests and skill sets to create fun, meaningful connections with his tech communities. For example, he built a game, and created 8-bit art and avatars for himself, others, and his clients. He also shared examples of how others combine their own unique hobbies and skills like music, comedy, art, cross-stitching, and sewing to do the same.

December is finals first, Christmas later
During hacktoberfest month, I contributed to the vscode-pets which was a VSCode extension with cute pets to play with while coding. I really liked the general idea, plus, the founder and maintainer of the project was always helpful and quick to respond. It was such a nice contributing experience that I continued making contributions even after the fest was done.

Contributions can lead to unexpected solutions

Unit testing like a Hacker
My first 2 PRs(1st & 2nd) were likely newbie level and I wanted to contribute to something more meaningful, something that would challenge me intellectually. I spent a good week or so stressing over what to contribute to next on the issues page, only to stress even more. What became clear to me was that if you are scrolling and scrolling through the issues page just to find the perfect issue for your use case, you're doomed... there are another 20K people doing the same just to get swags. That way, you are probably spending more energy searching than you would have spent on writing a new feature from scratch or a tough bug fix.
- Do we have something similar to vscode-pets?

Paint.net
Aseprite is free if you compile it yourself [0], and can still be used for commercial purposes if compiled this way [1]. But I recommend buying it anyway to support the project.

Monodraw
Nitpick: Aseprite is source-available, not open source by the Open Source Initiative's definition. From the Aseprite EULA [1]:
> (g) Source code.
> You may only compile and modify the source code of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for your own personal purpose or to propose a contribution to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
The OSI's definition of open source [2] requires distribution of unmodified and modified copies (with the exception of lone, unmodified copies; I read somewhere that writing a hello world program is a workaround):
> 1. Free Redistribution
> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
...
> 3. Derived Works
> The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
"free software" is ambiguous to English speakers/writers, but "open source" is ambiguous in its own way.

Automating sprite packing and flipbook creation in Unreal Engine (Aseprite + TexturePacker + Unreal)
This is specifically targeted for Aseperite users, and also makes use of a great tool called TexturePacker by CodeAndWeb. Andreas from CodeAndWeb always helps me out when I email them, and the software itself is awesome, so I figured I'd give it a boost.

I'd never used Aseprite before, but it was luckily pretty straightforward to copy and paste and slightly edit the knight into a little spritesheet!

3D object with animated texture from Blender to Godot -- has anyone gotten this working?
I modeled this simple computer in Blender and used the Pribambase plugin to create an animated texture for it with aseprite. I keyframed the animation in Blender and it works perfectly there.

Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support
One of my favorite "MS Paint" clones is KolourPaint[1]. I've been using it for over a decade (you have to search around to get it on non-linux platforms but I presently have it on MacOS). One of my favorite features is how it handles transparency, where it's just treated like another "color".
If anyone is heavy into pixel art, you may also be interested in Aseprite[2].
