Wow, thanks for sharing that Cornelios. I’ve joined Fedora in 2013, at the beginning I had the same issues. I totally support your post. In 2013 I did not have the skills of a developer that I have today. After more than 10 years working for local in Brazil as an ambassador I would love to help in, I mean getting my hands dirty and learn from many seniors contributors.

So yes, you are not alone here!

Why people contribute is not up for discussion here. We have our reasons.

Your comment is completely unrelated to the discussion here, and can easily be read as a type of baiting—to elicit a reaction from users by saying something negative/controversial/inflammatory. Please do better, and let us please remain on topic.

Edit: the post this was in reply to was flagged by community members and hidden as a result

Hi

I am not baiting anyone. I am simply stating a fact and an opinion. I’ve worked on Linux for over 20 years before I retired , including the kernel in different roles on different platforms. Prior to Linux I worked at IBM on AiX and proprietary versions of UNiX.

If you are contributing time and knowledge to a product that will eventually be sold by IBM you should be compensated. IBM certainly doesn’t give anything away for free. IBM sells a license that permits Red Hat Linux RPMs to be installed on their PowerPC hardware running AIX .

Sure, but your fact/opinion are completely off topic here. If you wish to discuss them, please open a new topic in the The Water Cooler category where it is appropriate. Hijacking a thread where people are discussing how to improve onboarding by saying “why do you bother to contribute, you don’t get paid” is not the right way to do it.

This doesn’t make any sense. Any contribution to open source and free software can be sold by any company.
