What do you mean by this?

    - Expectation is to work on your project full-time, without any other employment
      or work-for-hire obligations
Anyway, I'd like to nominate https://twitter.com/joepie91 for this.

His previous attempt: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-year-long-open-source...



What it says -- you shouldn't be getting paid to work on other projects. This is mostly to keep your head clear and focused. I and a lot of my friends are so burnt out after a day at work that side projects basically never happen. I want to remove this burn-out for someone.


Okay, that makes sense :)

I stand by my recommendation. Few people do more for open source than Sven. (Bonus: I don't think he's usually employed.)
