I am not a full stack developer. I do not contribute in terms of code to
open source projects. I file bug reports when I encounter issues. I write &
I present FOSS items in related events. These contributions lead me to earn
a job in the Linux field. I was once an unpaid FOSS contributor and now I
earn.
Ikey Doherty[1] in UK started as an unpaid developer for the Linux Mint
project, then started his own Linux distribution, until his talent was
recognized and Intel hired him.
