| 5 | I had my first patch accepted to an upstream project this week. It was |
| 6 | only about 70 lines of Perl (and some of those were basically just |
| 7 | refactoring what the author had already written into a different |
| 8 | function, so that my new code could call it, too), but not only was it |
| 9 | *extremely* gratifying to be "accepted upstream", it also showed me |
| 10 | that the barrier to contributing to OSS is really very low. |
