After over 40 years programming and teaching software development I thought it was about time I contributed to an open source project. I knew I was not up to adding a new feature or finding an elusive bug. What I could do is contribute examples of coding from the numerous demo programs I use in my classes. At this talk I will discuss what I chose to be my first contribution. It wasn't just a matter of a simple pull request. I had to learn a lot to integrate my code into the project. My mistakes and what I learned will be presented.
