One can always talk on IRC where the whole Krita team meets, however it’s not the same either: you can’t see them, hence the interaction is limited; also this is a group chat, and you don’t really get to know your interlocutors.

One sprint is often more productive in bonding than a whole year of being present at the same IRC meetings.

Krita Resource Rewrite Sprint, February 2020

I quite like the fact that I’m working on something that everyone can participate in. All my work is visible online, I can talk to users directly. There is one event I particularly like to recall: when working on bugs last year in the early summer, I got told to spend some time on the Clone Brush. I didn’t find a lot of bugs regarding it, but I’ve found a few wishes. I implemented them, I got it reviewed by Dmitry (since back then, I believe, most of my longer patches were reviewed by him) in the evening, and the next morning I’ve got two different people thanking me personally for coding that. That was quite an empowering feeling: seeing people actively waiting for your work and appreciating it.

I don’t think working on Krita helped me get into other open source communities, I don’t interact with people from other projects, I don’t engage much. But I do understand more how it all works, so if I wanted, I could get in. Also I know all the gossips now.

Now I’m thinking about this, well, maybe Krita does make me closer to the open-source community. Since I started working on Krita, I was abroad four times and I have a fifth one already planned: first time for Libre Graphics Meeting, then three Krita sprints (a big one, baptized ”The First Krita Con” since it had over twenty participants, then one for meeting with Intel and going to Blender Con, then
