[lug] BLUG Meeting Announcement 2008-05-08

[Boulder Linux]

Another formal announcement will go out tomorrow, but to tide you over
until then:

      One of the things about the open source community that continues to baffle
      those non-open source people is, "why do you do it?" Open source
      developers work on open source software for a number of reasons from
      scratching an itch to gaining a reputation to building a resume to
      contributing to a good cause.  The interesting problem comes when money
      enters into the equation.  Research shows that when someone works on
      something for free (for internal rewards) if you start paying them you
      replace those internal rewards. Then if you stop paying them, they will
      stop working on it.  Does that hold true for open source software?  Are
      commercial companies killing open source by paying people to work on it?
