I'm super grateful and often amazed by all the cool FOSS that's put out and how helpful people are in online communities. I feel like it should be much, much more appreciated by society. Especially developing FOSS is such a thankless activity. | |

I mean, how do you get out of bed otherwise? I don't know why people view this as somehow blameworthy. Anyway, my answer, if you like, attempts to suggest how contributing to a project without renumeration might satisfy that need. | |
