I'd really love to contribute more to Open Source projects and/or put more stuff on Github, but that's not going to happen after 8+ hours of software development. I'm doing my share of bug reports and patches here and there, but I wouldn't take a role like maintainer/developer for a FLOSS project in my spare time. I admire those who are able and willing to do this, but it's not for me.

Do you have a Github ID to make patches?

Yes, I have a Github ID, but have mostly interacted with projects not hosted on Github. Yes, they still exist. :)
