Distribution quote of the week

It's a real problem for the project that we don't have a better way of allocating resources, and it hampers us in some ways compared to, say, Ubuntu or Red Hat, where there is a single, stable funding stream to maintain the distribution and set firm priorities. There are some things we don't do as well as those distributions because of it. But, for instance, while I know a lot of people volunteer work for Ubuntu, I personally have very little desire to do anything with Ubuntu because people get paid to do that. Particularly now that my free time is rarer and more precious to me, doing unpaid work for an organization that also has paid staff is hugely demotivating. It's entirely plausible that paying for resources would mean that Debian would end up with *less* resources than we have now, if other volunteers feel the same way.
