I really wish there was a culture in free/open source software of actually telling the person who made the thing when you do something good/interesting/cool/weird with it, used it in a workshop/teaching. It's super nice+motivating when I hear about tidal being used on a course or something, but it's generally only by chance.
I guess it's another case of people adopting the at-a-distance customer-supplier relationship of commercial/proprietary software, when free/open source _should_ take a friendlier approach
