Thanks, Beat. Tough to hear, good to hear. This means a lot. "Without being discouraged, I will continue to retry from time to time again. Maybe one day things will change." You are an important part of Joomla!.

As one of the people who set up the current structure of OSM I feel a need to clear up a little bit about what OSM is about, or at least was about. Joomla! had a need to manage its financial and legal assets. Do to that required a legal entity of...

Hi Amy, Thanks for the very good post and your openness. Recognizing our own errors is an important step forward. Hi all, Nice to see you all in here. Shayne wrote: The fact that there is a need to pay developers is IMO just a symptom of underly...

Poor Dan - you made the mistake of calling OSM a business and offended an OSM founder. Take 'er easy Brian. ;-) OSM is not a business, but it's really easy to think of it in those terms since that's what we see all around us. Corporate structures ...

Matt Asay's comments are spot-on regarding paying people to make progress. I don't believe it's necessarily a sign of a "community's" decline though. It all depends on how one defines community.

I still do voluntary work, but not as much as in my starting point. I am still posting support forum posts, when I have the time, I am testing new code, report issues, but only if it is related to my needs and experience.

So you never do any voluntary work any more now that you have learned for free, how sad.

Yeah there are users like me involved in different projects, do some voluntary work till get experienced, and then try to create a functional business model. I had my contributions in voluntary work, but I cannot live with voluntary work.

I think you're speaking for yourself Dan. There are millions of people around the world who do free voluntary work every day of the year.

Well, it has to be a business. Nobody does free voluntary work these days, and developers also. The visible and nice side of it: wow free CMS, free support. The invisible side: donations, Adds and shop. It looks like a business fair enough.

OSM is not a business, where did you get that idea. As Arno is a fellow co-founder of Joomla he is well aware of who benefits from Joomla.

Dan Partac commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Volunteers are falling short, and now, OSM has to pay developers'
OSM is a business, so as every other business, it has to ensure the future. Seems users like to dig Joomla forum and extension directory, ask for free solutions, but more and more extensions go commercial at a certain point, so developers have to ...

A lot of valid arguments here. I can identify with both sides of the debate. The one thing the Project cannot afford, is to have a situation where the Projects direction, decisions etc ... are manipulated, or influenced by Fulltime Developers, or...

Brian Sullivan commented on lafrance's blog post 'Warez'
You know, I will say that it can be hard to tell legitmate sites from warez sites these days. I was looking for an e-book this summer, I googled, and found it for free download on a very slickly developed and attractively designed site. The tip-of...

Now that's great post Cabe. I'd written the post below earlier today but didn't post yet but I think there are some good similarities with your thinking regarding the recruitment process etc so I'll post it anyway to share my thoughts. ---- Earlie...

All very good comments Kendall apart from one slight inaccuracy as there have been several companies that I'm aware of that have offered developer time to work on the project but they were rejected. I won't go into more details here in public but ...

I read through this post and was happy to see all the different opinions from both sides of the fence. Involvement comes when someone sees a reason to be involved in the direction of the project. Since so much has been done behind closed doors in ...

Sorry Torkil, I meant it more in terms of knowledge available at this specific moment in time (and how closely related they are) I certainly was not commenting on anybody's ability. Apologies for confusion and thanks for the post.
