''Regardless of the steps that a project chooses, transparency will act in a central role in maintaining volunteerism.'' — Mako Hill | ''Regardless of the steps that a project chooses, transparency will act in a central role in maintaining volunteerism.'' — Mako Hill | ||
I thought we could use this text, taken from Mako's essay, [http://mako.cc/writing/funding_volunteers/funding_volunteers.html "Problems and Strategies in Financing Voluntary Free Software Projects"], as a starting point for a discussion on what sorts of activities Sugar Labs should be funding. In the essay, Mako takes a strong stance against the introduce of paid labor into a primarily voluntary free software project, so this is far from a neutral starting point. Nonetheless, let the discussion begin! --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 13:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC) | I thought we could use this text, taken from Mako's essay, [http://mako.cc/writing/funding_volunteers/funding_volunteers.html "Problems and Strategies in Financing Voluntary Free Software Projects"], as a starting point for a discussion on what sorts of activities Sugar Labs should be funding.
