[OSGeo-Discuss] are there any unpaid developers?

[Stefan Steiniger]

I think we (OpenJUMP) have a couple of people that are working (i.e. 
sending emails and improving code) on the weekends (and evenings) for 
fun. This includes not only developers but also people that update 
documentation and test new functions.

so - yes!

Btw. if you have a 20 hours/week position and you do the rest (other 
20h/w) what you want to do (at the University) - which includes research 
which helps to add functions to software - is that unpaid? .. I would 
say so.

..not even talking about answering on emails.

cheers
