My First Open Source Patch.

Sweet action. I just submitted my first (barely) significant patch to an open source project. The patch for Banshee should take care of bug 333893, adding “fuzzy” searching and the ‘-’ (NOT) operator to the search widget thingie.

It’s funny, but I’m a little bit nervous about submitting the patch. While my code is typically quite good, I’m sure that’s at least partially due to the “big fish, little pond” situation here at K-State. So I can’t help but be nervous if my patch will be good enough for the project, and if not I hope that someone will help me get it up to an acceptable quality.

Anyway, this is a big deal for me and I’m pretty happy about it. :)
