Ask HN: Open Source devs to make a living out of it

by Gepsens on 8/29/2013, 4:55 PM with 2 comments

Hello there HN,

I am looking for open source developers with projects that they are not touching anymore or simply active projects on Github and who have been contacted to provide support for it, or add more features but did not have the 'time'.

I am putting something online to achieve that in an automated fashion in the coming days/week, to help all of us make a living on the side out of open source, say SpringSource or RedHat but in a totally democratic and automated fashion.

I am looking for beta testers.

    So you're looking for projects that are popular enough to be useful, but are lacking upkeep and attention from their maintainers?

    You might appreciate looking at www.lookingforpullrequests.com which seems to be aimed at getting projects that are struggling some extra love.
