Re: [sane-devel] Hiring a SANE developer for custom backend
I'll quickly chime in for those that actually work for a living, likely now have to slave to live nowadays. As such, many of the hard workers are just simply exhausted. Guess this was just one of those changes that occurred over the past years; rewarding hard workers with not rewards, but rewarding with more work. signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Re: [sane-devel] Hiring a SANE developer for custom backend
Hi Brandon, I saw Torfinn's reply but wanted to chime in with my take on it.

Just want a cost estimate and we can talk about the work for > it. Kind of shock there have been no replies so far. Not all that shocking. I used to work pretty much full-time on EPSON scanner driver development for Linux. Now I do web development related work but still hang around here at the SANE project as a *volunteer*. While I wouldn't mind earning something on the side, my current employer does not allow that. So I would have to do the work unpaid but I'm not sure that wouldn't raise an eyebrow at the office (potential conflict of interest and such). That is also why am I not taking up maintenance of the various backends that support EPSON scanners (they're unmaintained at the moment). Also, there are more fun things to do with my free time than add support for a scanner. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the SANE developers feel the same way ;-) Hope this clarifies a bit and good luck finding any takers, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Softwarehttps://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Since nobody is paid to work on the SANE project, my guess is that there isn't anyone of the developers that work on this full time. This is a project, not a business. Which means that those who develops this project do it on their own free time, when they don't do other interesting or fun things. Also, it has only been a week since your first post. If you give it more time, you might get an answer. Or not. (I'm not a developer, just a user with an interest.)

Hey Everyone, So I have not gotten any replies outside of this one, Just curious if there are any SANE backend developers who can add support for this scanner? Just want a cost estimate and we can talk about the work for it. Kind of shock there have been no replies so far.

Re: [sane-devel] Hiring a SANE developer for custom backend
You are in the right place. Your paste indicates that this is a GL848 or later chipset. It could be supported by the genesys sane backend, which is basically unmaintained currently. However, you might get lucky and be able to entice the former maintainer/author to come out of retirement . If not, he has left some documentation at: https://github.com/stefdev49/syseneg . Hopefully that will enable someone on this list to take you up on your offer. If it is similar enough to an existing scanner, support may be simple. allan On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Brandon Anderson wrote: > Hey Everyone, > > I hope this is the correct area to post, I am looking for estimates in > cost for developing a SANE backend to support the Ambir ImageScan Pro > 687ix Card and ID scanner.

[sane-devel] Hiring a SANE developer for custom backend
Hey Everyone, I hope this is the correct area to post, I am looking for estimates in cost for developing a SANE backend to support the Ambir ImageScan Pro 687ix Card and ID scanner. If developers are interested I can provide information about the scanner, and remote access to a machine with shell access to evaluate cost and time estimate. We will be able to ship the scanner to the developer if needed should the job be accepted. I am attaching the output of `sudo sane-find-scanner -v -v` let me know if you need anything else. I am also available on the #sane channel on freenode under the nick "Brando753" if you want to message me there.
