More examples to Bastien's list. ATK/AT-SPI (or in general Accessibility hackfests): https://wiki.gnome.org/Hackfests/ATK2011 https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility/Hackfests/ATK2012 Those had people coming with a Qt(KDE), Mozilla, etc. profiles. > Obviously, it's better when the contributor's home organisation can pay > for costs rather than GNOME. It might not always be the case however. Probably that would make things somewhat more complex, as would add several exceptions to the home organization along the year. FWIW, I was invited and funded by the KDE Sprint 2011 (KDE's equivalent to GNOME Hackfests) organization, being in that specific case case the non-KDE profile.
