I can almost bet my entire savings that all these Kenyans have never even acknowledged on any list that a certain fix for an opensource(which they install for clients and charge) has worked for them. If we cant code, debug or document at least we can contribute by acknowledging where a suggested solution has worked for us.
PS: the closest I've come to being a developer/coder is hello world program over a decade ago with basica

@Glenn, @Nd'wex. Am in a kind of rush. Gentlemen, I think let's narrow this down. As passionate people of technology in your area of open source, what have you done or created to have made the source code and its applications of your projects more different to what you found or downloaded. When you changed the code aspects that made it more functional or adaptive, was this contribution made available to some library or repository? Kindly note that helpdesk support is being done by many many open source users out there. Thus, most can google the problems.
I'd like to reiterate that contribution to an open source project is not limited to writing code: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/contributing/index.html (I hope you bother to open this link).
