Hi!
Just a short note on the success of bounties. The Anjuta Project
(www.anjuta.org/tasks, list is not completely up-to-date) put bounties
of overall about 4000$ in place about two years ago. Only about half of
those have been worked on since and the
Don't get me wrong, bounties can be great motivators, especially
around key bugs or major refactoring jobs etc. I think the Google

your constructive and rather justified criticism.

Is somebody this year taking care of the GNOME developer room at FOSDEM?

I've seen projects like Plone do that... it's clearly an open source
project, but they list quite a few companies that can provide for-pay
support.
What's more significant for our purposes is that Plone is a free
software package. That makes it relevant for comparison.
