I see. Well, atom.io interests me a lot, since I know a little bit of JavaScript and contributed to a relatively medium-sized game framework (melonJS). I will try just starting with small bugs and work my way up the ladder. I was asked to meet the CEO tomorrow to sign an IP assignment agreement, and I have not signed anything yet, so I assume I am ok legally speaking. By the way, the CEOs of these small start-ups were 100% honest with the pay considerations and I feel kind of bad now that I have to go and say that I will not be joining their start-up.

One other thing to think about would be intangibles the startups can offer vs open source: * how good are you at self-motivating * what chance is there of being mentored at the start up? * will the CEO provide a good reference later one: a human reference likely beats pointing out the open source contributions in many jobs in the future If you are going to work for free anyway on open source then make sure you have the dedication to actually do it. Being more directly accountable to someone may be a benefit. Good luck ... it's a tough call!
