I was thinking about something like this a couple of weeks ago.
Similar to the adopt-a-dev project but for those of us who are
students (or superhumans) and have enough time and want to make a buck
or two with gentoo. We could list companies/people needing help either
as a one-time action or on a regular basis (like a few hours a month),
and starving and/or bored devs.

The company I work for, for example, has gentoo servers only, and they
use me as a consultant when they need it (my real job is not about
computers). If they didn't have me they'd need somebody to help them,
and I can hardly imagine it's the only company in the world in that
case.

Plus, that would probably make good PR for Gentoo.

Denis.
