would you do it again for free?
DESCRIPTION
Would you do it again for free was about the question: if you take developers that are working on open source software for free and you pay them, if you stop paying them, will they still work on open source software? This was the topic of my keynote at GUADEC, LinuxConf Australia, and SCALE - the talk evolved over time. The transcript or video is necessary to understand it.TRANSCRIPT
