If you have constributed on a project in order to make work as you want then you're a hacker. Hacker isn't cracker and doesn't mean a security expert either.
Nathan Parker
Patches to various projects. Because they made some problems for me. No. No. Any message I have sent is on public groups or mail lists. No.
Cooper Russell
No I'm not confident enough in my skills to. No No Yes, but the word hacker sounds stupid to me now cause normies and gaymers ruined it.

>Have you contributed to open source? Only documentation and simple functionality extension scripts. No formal work or commits
>Why? By documenting what I do I learn better all while potentially helping others. My functionality extensions and scripts help me do my job. By publishing them not only can I help others but others can also improve upon my work. I get a better tool without wasting more time on it myself.
>Have you emailed rms? No but I have spoken to him
>Have you emailed any other oss-hacker? No. I feel as if I would waste their time if the subject is not related directly to their work
>Do you consider yourself a hacker? Yes by the classic definition of the word. The etymology of the word is worth looking at. catb.org/jargon/html/meaning-of-hack.html

Russian. I did one complete translation, a couple of translation fixes and one translation for a non-opensource site.

>Have you contributed to open source? Translations in Bulgarian and Russian; I can't program for shit but I still want to contribute in some way. This is my way. From tiny XDA apps (completely translated by myself) to larger projects (where the work is done in a team), I've helped with the translation.
>Why? Why not? Translating software into multiple languages helps a fuckton for its' adoptability.
Also, the absurdly incorrect machine translation I've seen over the years pissed me off. One day I just realized I could help with that since a lot of the projects were open source.
>Have you emailed rms? Yup. He even corrected some misconceptions I had, he's a great teacher.
