It shouldn't be that hard to contribute to FOSS. In my case, I do contribute to some small projects, not necessarily code-related (most are though), only because I do need them from work. Because my patch becomes under the license of the mainline code, it is pretty much being involved to FOSS and have a fulfilling career at the same time. Depending on your employer and the tools you use, its most likely if you are using free/open source software that your chance of contributing to an actual project is higher compared to the rest. Also because of online communities, especially freenode, collaboration becomes quicker at the same time you get to interact with very clever people elsewhere with the same interests. That itself is a powerful technology flattener. -- Jerome Gotangco _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
