This has always been a misconception on a participatory cultured
community like FOSS. A set of FOSS code like an API is not useful

bug reports, documentation, time (e.g., website improvement),
money :-) etc, are all contributions.

Submitting bugs also help. I contribute code every now and then. What
usually holds me back is when I'm not really proud of my work to be
released into the public (some of them has/are ugly hacks). On other
occasions, I get too lazy or occupied to package and document code.

wait a minute, what does Gurango have to do with FOSS & PLUG?
There are better example of successful local people in FOSS...
Probably the best Open Source portfolio would be Butch Landingin, now the CTO
of Orange&Bronze. I remember some posts from him regarding Python, Zope and
Squishdot and this

maybe that's it. the local demand for software is pretty low compared to
overseas'. and with regards to web apps, local consumers tend to embrace
global brands and there's nothing new about it. i think success rate is much
higher if you launch your product elsewhere or if you cater to OFWs

Hobby is hobby, interest is interest, we know we want to share "something

give a room for becoming rich and that is true, im not againts that.

You know Ariz, I really think it's an age thing.
If you look at the guys who set up Facebook, Myspace, OpenDNS
they're all in their early- to mid-twenties.
I guess once you hit 30+ and you still haven't struck it rich, you
kind of settle down into a niche.

Hi All,
Usually open source projects have a "donate" section that allows
people to send them money, beer, pizza, etc. I don't know if this
would be applicable here in Manila :)
Anyways i think most people do contribute code/do QA testing for
distributions (ie. Fedora project), but do not advertis

hehehe, that's hilarious. perhaps it would really end up like you've grown
out of it or maybe by raising the bar, among other things.
others would simply use their idle times creating their startup instead of
immediately contributing code to F/OSS projects. Although they would still

I don't know about you guys, but personally I gain zero geek pride
from working on open-source projects.
I used to have a couple of projects like a DECADE ago and back then I

but that is so loser-ish :-P

it's all about motivation. i'm pretty sure most of us, if not all, can
contribute to the code of any open source project or even initiate one. some
might have already fixed some bugs of any popular projects but are too
shy(?) to submit the patch. others simply starts to loose motivation
