Abstract
What motivates a potential code contributor? And a full-time free-software developer? A fun project. LibreOffice development is fun, but also a real challenge, so we must consciously find the flow in it (not quite an oxymoron). While I present my recent LibreOffice, Numbertext, LibreLogo and Hunspell developments, partially sponsored by FSF.hu Foundation, Hungary, I collect the ten funniest moments of them, that were left out of the release notes (i.e. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.5#Default.E2.80.9Cspellout.E2.80.9Dnumberandcurrencyformats, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.4#Newtypographicsettings, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.4#NewnumberinginShowChanges_mode etc.).
