I work on Gentoo because I want to work on it. It scratches an itch that I have. I like using it personally and also professionally. I find it easier to help improve Gentoo, thereby making it better for myself, than to simply ask others to fix it for me and hope that they're interested in changing things in the same manner as I am. This is exactly why I became a developer and why I still am a developer. That being said, I know that I, as well as many other Gentoo developers, will gladly accept payment to work on what YOU want me to work on, but until such time as I am in someone else's employ, I'll be working on what I choose to work on myself. If you don't like what a developer is working on or would rather they work on something that interests you, offer to pay them. Unless they're your employee, they owe you nothing. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-lkLlVdgt7lvsMDsJ95Vp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGm+0DkT4lNIS36YERAsh9AKDCBJOmL5Ba+SQnQXWx6KKL87EtogCbBB1Z In+ujRktirK9vZ9r3O3AXMQ= =7r1g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lkLlVdgt7lvsMDsJ95Vp-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
