I'm a job seeker (well, will be when I can).
I was just looking at the openings in Source Forge for the Open

others.
Are virtually ALL jobs / projects in open software unpaid
positions? Only
supported by "donations" and for the primary persons only?
There are a few paying jobs in projects like OpenOffice (heck, I even
got payed to work on OpenOffice for a while) but you most likely
won't find them on SourceForge. The people that I know who worked for
pay on OpenSource projects tended to get there by one of three ways:
1) They where working for free on the project, and then where
contacted as asked "would you want to do the same, just for pay?"
2) They where employed by a company that contributes to OpenSource
development.
3) They are consultants / self employed, and one of the things they
do for there clients is relevant work in OpenSource projects.
