GUADEC Keynote: Would you do it again for free?
If you are looking for the slides for my GUADEC keynote, you can find them here – Would you do it again for free? It was a good conversation starter – I had fun in all the conversations that came out of the talk. Lots of people shared supporting anecdotes with me. And, most importantly, people pointed out that I left out one important area of motivation: ethics. Lots of people work on open source software because they believe it is good that software is open.
For the record, the GNOME crowd thinks they would continue working on GNOME even if they no longer got paid for it.
