Hi Paulo and Laurent, Thanks again for your answer. I am aware of the different roles one can take in FOSS development. I do it my self via bug reporting (mainly in debian), translation and when I have time submit patches to projects - mainly in Python. Since, I am now busy writing my thesis, I will not have time to help via the usual altruistic path. I'm in the opinion that free software developers should be paid, and when I can I donate money. So, If you want I can donate money for the uvc project which can use it to finance beer to developers or hardware. Someone has to pay for all the berlios infrastructure no ? Since I'm in Germany, I can easily transfer money to German bank accounts or via pay pal.
