The past National Day of Andalusia (Feb 28th) I paid homage to one of the greatest public figures this region of Spain has ever given to the world. I did it by itching a scratch I’ve had for several years:

What if I could use Chiquito’s jokes for generating random test data in my Ruby projects?

I’ve been user the Faker gem since forever, so adding a module to this already extensive library should be the way to go.

It turned out to be quite easy (never understimete the power of code precedence), and the pull request received lots of love and was seamlessly merged.

I wish contributing to FLOSS was this easy and fun all the time.
