Ask HN: What open source projects need help? (ycombinator.com)
Let's match open source projects that need help with developers looking to contribute. Think of this as "Who's Hiring" but for open source - a monthly thread to surface interesting projects that could use more hands.

TTECK Has Passed (github.com/community-scripts)
Good afternoon! I am tteckster's wife. I don't have a clue if anyone will even see this because I'm not the computer savvy person that my husband was, but I wanted to try. I know that he posted an update regarding his health the other week, and I wanted to let you all know that he passed away a few days ago. If anyone sees this, maybe you could make a better post. Thank you for all that supported him.

How did you find product market fit? (ycombinator.com)
Talking to fellow founders whenever I can as a pre PMF startup founder. The stories are wildly different than those I read or hear about on podcasts, blogposts and newsletters.<p>HN mostly being anon, I thought it would be an ideal place to share how you found PMF as a service to other startups and founders. Whether you are a 1 person company or 1,000, it does not really matter

Response to Blog Post from Malibal (coreboot.org)
Recently there was a blog post by MALIBAL, a disgruntled laptop vendor who attempted to port coreboot to their rebranded white label laptop. The cause of the kerfuffle they describe is that they failed in their own attempt to port coreboot to their laptop, then approached a few of our consultants and community members claiming the code was “80+%” complete and that they just needed help with “debugging.”

The community needs to unite and make some important decisions about the path forward. Has a new fork become the go-to choice? Is there a new frontend that we’re rallying behind? This site will soon be archived, and time is limited. Let’s make these decisions together.

Don't Be a Jerk (ycombinator.com)
A while ago someone asked a question here on HN. I answered, and while it didn't take long, it did take a moment or two of my time. Freely given.<p>Then the question was deleted. No thanks, no acknowledgement, no reply. Just summarily deleted.<p>In the grander scheme of things it's small fry, but it irritated me. They probably don't care. After all, who am I to them? But still, it rankled a bit.<p>People - don't be a jerk.
