I'm out of touch with US rates, but I guess that would pay for 2-3 FTE corporate developers? I wouldn't be surprised to find there are more Microsoft employees than that already contributing to the ASF as volunteers.. John

Microsoft to sponsor the Apache Software Foundation (ars technica) Posted Jul 28, 2008 13:08 UTC (Mon) by emk (subscriber, #1128) [Link] $100,000 will pay for 1 full-time corporate developer in most markets, or maybe a bit less. Base salaries run anywhere from $50,000-100,000 depending on location and skill set. For a full-time employee with benefits, an office, and the usual corporate overhead, you would multiply that by 2. Remember that in the U.S., the employer pays for medical insurance. But the Apache foundation is a non-profit, and it presumably doesn't need to have office buildings, a Human Resources department, or other corporate overhead. So they won't need to multiple the base salary by 2. But still, they're unlikely to get more than one full-time developer for $100,000.
