Building the Open Source Hackers Cooperative
,----[ Quote ]
| To illustrate open source sophistication, just look how easy it has become to
| start and manage projects. It is almost a cookie-cutter procedure. You pick
| one of a number of well known licenses, manage the code on SourceForge.net or
| Launchpad, communicate with the project through skype and mailing lists, and
| tell the world about it using your blog plus Twitter. Within an afternoon you
| have set up infrastructure to support efficient collaborative development
| with team members from Seattle to Singapore. The number of projects itself
| makes the point: SourceForge.net alone has over 230,000 projects.

Why Code For Free? Yet More Linux/FOSS Devs Speak! (part 3)
,----[ Quote ]
| My usual experience is: for the vast majority of people, do it by finding the
| right company to work for. A lot of companies, from giant to tiny, use and
| work with free software.
|
| They are often happy for you to continue to work with the upstream community
| as part of your job, which can mean anything from "submit the occasional
| patch" through to "run the entire OSS project, on their infrastructure."
|
| As an example, my present employer uses Perl, and other OSS, heavily, and we
| regularly work back. Several of our staff are committers on the OSS projects
| we base our work on, and address bugs on the companies time (and dime).
