@mirandah @richlitt @sustainoss I am active in the Linux Desktop space, and I say that because it is a bit different from average open source. In your talk you mentioned that around 40% of contributors get paid for it. In the desktop space this number is probably massively lower. Its a crazy paradox, even though our software is so immensely popular, and very complex so that you need hundreds of packages and people to build such a product, there is almost no economical incentive in it these days.
