Personal advice: setup a workers coop with some people you trust you can work with. Equal pay for everyone, flexible schedule. And you get to choose who to work for as a client. If you people have some crazy ideas worth researching, a coop is the perfect setup. You can find some contract to pay the bills then liberate time to work as a team on something free-software that actually matters to you. You may even end up with leftover money to donate to other amazing projects you'd like to support.
