Thanks for sharing it!

But that was not the point, I am already making money working real jobs, or I can find another consulting side-project...

But forcing to have in resume contributions in open sources, it reminds me the "free voluntary" labor work during the cold war in eastern Europe.

As I said, on the other side, just like certificates nowadays are almost mandatory to show "continuous education", contributing on open sources, is not that different.

Thank you for sharing this Bimba! StackOverflow has a similar model but, the reward is in points.
