Hello,
I've been meaning to send this email for a couple of months now..so here
goes.
An earlier email about my trip to the Ohio LinuxFest this past September.
There was something that came up a few times during my visit there that
merits being passed along to this list, IMO - if it had come from one
person I would dismiss it, but this happened maybe a half dozen times -
one representative exchange.
Hi
Howdy
So you work on any FOSS project.
I volunteer a little for OpenOffice.org. (That is exactly how I said
that EACH time)
Oh - I wish I could get paid to work on a FOSS project!
OK, now when I was speaking with folks, say from a Linux magazine or one
of the big money FOSS companies - they did not have this misconception,
but more often then not when I was speaking with 'just a guy (or gal)'
this was exactly what they thought.
1 OpenOffice.org = Sun Microsystems
2 Everyone who works on the project is paid staff.
Just passing it along, for whatever it's worth.
Drew
