Octoprint is an interesting case there, Patreon allows Gina to work on it as a full-time job. Money has been discussed in the context of LinuxCNC in the past. Nobody has ever wanted to be the one who decides how it is spent. There have been occasions when someone has paid a specific coder to do a specific project on LinuxCNC. Tormach paid for some stuff, for example. (But the developer they used wasn't one of the main developers, he might even have been new to the project, it was a while ago) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
