Because it took me a minute to find the tweet text on that page: > Apple doesn’t let employees contribute to unapproved OSS projects (even in their personal time). So some of my projects could use a maintainer to manage PRs: - https://github.com/mdiep/Tentacle - https://github.com/mdiep/Logician - https://github.com/SwiftGit2/SwiftGit2 … If you’re interested, please let me know!

Because I don't 100% trust this to stay up (and because it's a bit hard to find the actual content without css): > Apple doesn’t let employees contribute to unapproved OSS projects (even in their personal time). So some of my projects could use a maintainer to manage PRs: - https://github.com/mdiep/Tentacle - https://github.com/mdiep/Logician - https://github.com/SwiftGit2/SwiftGit2 … If you’re interested, please let me know! >> I’d love to help out with Tentacle! I’ll take a look at open issues and PRs today > Awesome, thanks! I just gave you access. Tentacle is very low maintenance, but there’s a Swift 5.2 PR open now that looks like it may need a little help. >> Has this ever been enforced that you know of? What are the consequences? > No idea.
