How is this related at all to the current discussion? Perhaps you |
| 20 |
should contact the developers that are trying to get Gentoo/FreeBSD |
| 21 |
going. |

So are we going to start paying developers too? Having money for Gentoo |
| 31 |
should be to just help out where we can't get sponsors to do so. There |
| 32 |
is no way Gentoo will ever be able to pay all of its expenses. I'm not |
| 33 |
sure if that's what you are going for, but if so, I can't see how it |
| 34 |
will ever happen. |

How are we abusing our volunteers and their time? |
