My #introduction post. I’m a Canadian entrepreneur.

#Graphic artist, lifelong #musician, industrial #design school graduate, long-time #coder of things with microchips. Cross platform agnostic — all computers are good #mac #pc #unix, #linux, #ios, #macos, #android. Lives in the future & thankful for it. Loves #books, #movies, #cars, #airplanes, #computers, musical #instruments & fine #clothing. #He.

I dislike racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes and bigots of all types.

New instance intro.

Hello, I'm Paul, a Canadian #homebrewing dad that works on #mainframes all day to feed his young monkey and wife.

I love #tech, #streetart, and #PunkRock

Big into reading books, not burning them. Working on (so much editing!!!) a potluck book club podcast with cooler calmer friends.

Inspire to be a more organized #maker and #coder, but may have #ADHAhhLookSquirrel.

I used to teach, coach, and parachute pack/rig in #skydiving for 10 years, but parenting is more Xtreme!

So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.
