There was recently a bounty for GEM developing, it started picking up, everyone agreed it was a cool idea, I never used GEM in my life and I chipped in 15 US$... the thing is that then there was a discussion on wether to move to a different bounty system and the whole thing kinda died away.
So all I have to say is that I don't think there's an issue for Pd people, and my only issue is that I hope my pennies do not go to waste :) Em dom, 11 de nov de 2018 às 21:10, Julian Brooks <jbee...@gmail.com> escreveu: > Hi all, > > Can I ask our community what's the general take on bounties? > > I've discussed this informally with a couple of people on here (not > on-list) and it's a polarising topic. > > For me, free/open is doomed unless we accept that current/traditional > methods of practise serve as a form of serfdom - or require a hefty dose of > institutional/employer support (& often community participation - which is > great obvs.). > > It's not sustainable for free software to carry on reliant on free labour > (IMO). > > I've always liked something that Michel Bauwens (p2p foundation) once said > (roughly paraphrased), that copyleft can only be implemented once the > revolution is complete, and until then we require to get paid (somewhere > along the line). > > There are enough crappy things out there that are purely extractive, > without replicating such political/economic hardships within my own > favoured idealised/idealistic communities. > > This though, isn't to say I don't get the argument that it's a dangerous > line to cross, with projects becoming solely an economic arms race, highly > centralised, with reimagined methodologies and rules for participation. > > It's a tricky one. > > All input and insight appreciated... > > Best to all, > > Julian > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list >
