 As I got more sophisticated in fixing things in ports, the number of PRs and patches increased.
-At some point I decided that the [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/193539|MariaDB 10.0]] [[www.freshports.org/databases/mariadb100-server|port]] was due. So I started copying the 5.5 port, and failing time and again to get it to work but ultimately hacked it to build with 10.0! Along the way I interacted with the %%MariaDB%% community to solve some of the issues and after a while it was added to Ports. Suddenly I was a port maintainer (scary!).

 **//The %%LibreSSL%% thing//**
-I was using %%LibreSSL%% about as soon as the Portable version was released and added to ports. This required me to patch some ports (Apache, Python, ...) so they would build and run with %%LibreSSL%%. That got noted and some guys on IRC were nagging and motivating (and helping!) me to do more patches. At some point Ken Moore (PC-BSD, BSDNow.tv) reached out to me because he wanted to do an EDGE (cutting edge PC-BSD) build with %%LibreSSL%% for ports. This was something I was looking for as it would surface all, well... most I was later to find out, problems with using %%LibreSSL%% as libssl/crypto provider. That was a very intense couple of weeks where a poudriere run would uncover problems with %%LibreSSL%%, after patching these problems more problems would surface, etc. Most issues could be binned into [[https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/PatchingPorts|categories]] (EGD removal, deprecated des_ methods, SSLv2 removal). All this resulted in https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL/Ports#PC-BSD_10.1.2_ports_build and a large load of patches for ports as PRs in [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=LibreSSL|BugZilla]].

 When the initial fixing and patch creation was done, Kubilay spurred me on to upstream the patches which resulted in quite some changes, usually small, to all kinds of Open Source projects. And //boy// am I proud of the trivial changes that made it into these upstream projects! I can now truthfully say that changes I supplied to [[http://bugs.python.org/issue21356|Python]] are part of software running on many millions of systems. It's only me that knows that that's factually untrue  right?
