Interesting that none of the recipients will be actual projects that Red Hat is built upon. No donation to the Linux Kernel, nothing to Gnome, nothing to GNU at all, etc. I think that some people might be upset about that but I view it as e

Whether or not you are profitable depends on the cost of the labor you put into each app. Can you actually be profitable if you spend 2 hours per app that you would have billed to a big client at $100/hour?

Went here for my honeymoon. No one ever tells you that to get to the base of the falls (not to mention the top) requires a 2 hour flight, a 6 hour speed boat ride up a Class III river and finally an hour long hike. Worth every second in my
