Are there some small open source projects you really love? Take some time to thank the maintainers today. If they have a discussion forum where they welcome feedback, go thank them there. If there's nothing like that you can find, do it here. Post a comment. That's all it takes!

Mention the project(s) you love, why you love them, name the authors/maintainers you want to thank and thank them!

Try to find examples of small open source projects that you benefit from. Utilities, libraries, services, games, amusement software, everything counts!

The big projects like curl, Linux, etc. get a lot of limelight from everyone. Let us try to appreciate the small projects too that you benefit. I'm sure the authors/maintainers will appreciate this gesture!

Happy Thanksgiving!
