24 Pull Requests - Giving little gifts of code for Christmas

1 per day for projects I am unfamiliar with seems aggressive. I wonder if I would even be able to add any value with such a shallow understanding of the projects. I think 1/week is probably more reasonable if you are trying to get people who don't contribute to get involved.

The code for the site itself is also open source: <a href="https://github.com/andrew/24pullrequests/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/andrew/24pullrequests/</a>

Fantastic idea.<p>Now someone gift suhosin code for php 5.4 <a href="https://github.com/stefanesser/suhosin/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/stefanesser/suhosin/</a><p>I am starting to fear one-person projects no matter how great.

This is essentially the same idea as <a href="http://www.codetriage.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.codetriage.com</a>, but that's every day, all year round.

I love this idea and have been thinking about contributing to a project. It's just the incentive I needed to go do it.<p>When selecting a project, should I evaluate the # of pull requests or issues to determine which projects could use the most help? For the OSS pros out there, does it matter?

This is a great idea. I was literally just thinking about how I wish there was a site for aggregating good-will coding requests &#38; submissions.<p>I'm going to do my best to participate.<p>This is a great concept and execution. Thanks for taking the initiative to make this a reality. Well done!

I will be creating all 24 of my pull requests to one project. The prospect of a project manager seeing 24 new commits from someone he's never heard of made me think about how funny it would be if a group of hacker's created a "commit mob" like a social "flash mob" but once a week a few dozen developer's descend on to a project and help out creating a few hundred pull requests. If it was highly coordinated it could be as impressive looking as real flash mobs are. If the backlog is pre-chosen by the group and the mobsters pick which issues to work on it could be highly productive without anyone stepping on each other's work.

Why just December? (And why Christmas?) How about a year-round effort like "Pull Request Thursdays" or "First Thursday Pull Requests" (each month)?

In case anyone here is interested in contributing to my Django app - <a href="https://github.com/freedomsponsors/www.freedomsponsors.org" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/freedomsponsors/www.freedomsponsors.org</a>. - That's another free software application intended to make free software even better, one difference is that there are $ bounties involved.<p>Pull requests are welcome :)

Okay, I bit. I forked the Redis repository and fixed a small warning when linking with clang to resolve issue #374 (nine months old but still open.) I just created the pull request. How long has it taken others for 24pullrequests to recognize my request?<p>Edit: It took only a few minutes.

I don't think many people will make the 24 pull requests, but for kicks and giggles I submitted my pet project to receive some love<p><a href="http://www.github.com//dkheny/minestat" rel="nofollow">http://www.github.com//dkheny/minestat</a>

Shouldn't this be targeting repo owners to accept and merge a pull a day in December?<p>I kid, I kid.

Love the idea - hopefully it gets wings and turns into something longer-term rather than just seasonal. Getting more people involved in Free Software / open source is good for everybody.

I've sent one pull-request so far, but it's not showing on the dashboard.<p>I guess someone should take a look at the 24pullrequests repo itself and get some bugs fixed ;)

This is awesome :) After giving this little push I'm sure a lot of people will try to keep contributing and getting involved!

I love the idea, a lot of the suggestions were outside my wheelhouse but I might take a look.
