I consider myself a hobbyist wrt MapServer development. I'll see a small development contract every once in a while but most hours are just for fun. I imagine many devs contribute tons of hours without getting paid.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] are there any unpaid developers?

One of my students was asking today about the open source development
process (with special reference to geospatial projects). One question
I'm left with is are there any OSGEO developers who are doing this
just for the fun and fame? I know that a lot of us have fun developing
but everyone I could think of (GeoTools, GeoServer, uDig) gets paid to
have that fun.
