Dear Paul,
I missed your blog entry before, so thanks for your summary!
* Paul Boddie [2017-06-16 13:55 +0200]:
The report does make valid points about the burden of security-related
feedback on Free Software projects. Unfortunate, then, that it states this:
"People are volunteers." While Free Software projects are typically open to
volunteer participation, the likes of the Apache Software Foundation should be
looking to promote and develop ways through which "people" will not be
(unpaid) volunteers but can instead dedicate their "work time" to maintaining
and improving Free Software.
Actually I would be very interested in the percentage of Apache
developers who do their work on a paid basis. My impression always was
that the percentage of paid developers is quite high in that area. Does
anyone of you have any insights there? Else I would ask the author.
Regards,
Matthias
