> Create open source software that other people need, then sell training videos on how to use it. Please don't do this, I personally hate this motivation for Open Source development. The incentive of the project developer is not aligned with the user. The developer has the incentive to make the software complex and unintuitive, so that people require training to use it. Any proposed changes to make the project easier to configure, threaten the income of the developer and will probably not be considered... Monetisation is extremely hard to get right in open-source software.
