basic income for debian developers
Hi,
since Steffen Moeller started a thread about paying Debian Developers, I got
the idea to ask the Debian community about it's opinion about "Guaranteed
minimum income"[1].
I've heard about the concept some weeks ago in a talk by Götz Werner[2] and
imediatly felt in love with the idea. I'll give a lightning talk about it in
two weeks at Google Zürich's Open Source Jam and intend to propose a talk
about it at next years FOSDEM[3].
The connection between Free Software and basic income are obvious IMHO: It's
hard to earn money with things you give away for free. Basic income gives you
the freedom to work on things you like without the need to earn your income
from this work.
If this topic is not appropriate for this list, I beg your paddon.
Nevertheless I'd be glad to hear more opinions on this topic.
