I would expect the 'core' team to be paid. And as Mako and Klaus Knopper both say, jobs that are not interesting to Floss folks need to be paid: security guards, accountants, ... One thing that I dont seem to notice is that Ubuntu folks (who are not DD) are not wanting to join Debian or dont seem to be directed our way. At least I havent seen any examples. I'd like this to happen but I guess maybe Ubuntu folks are scared off by our non-teletubby culture :-) cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
