   You might be right. It's somewhat vexing for how I want to run Gittip that any face-to-face communication is harder to make public than communication that happens on the Internet first. I have to record and publish later ... or wear Go

   Fair enough. Thanks for the links, and for giving Gittip a try. :-)

   If you don't connect a bank account then this is effectively what happens. Also, it's currently public on your profile whether you've attached a bank account.

   Geez, man. Wow. I'm sorry. :-( I can't believe I'm asking this, but what would it take for you to work on open-source full time instead of going back to NYT in the winter? Is that something you would even want? What would it

    Gittip is designed to grow slowly and shrink slowly. It's designed to be relatively stable over the long term so that you can depend on it to pay your bills. There are three ways for "unknown" developers to receive significan

    Andy Weissman from USV suggested that on a skype call we had. Unfortunately that was before I started doing open calls so I can't link to it. :-/ Ticketed: https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues&

    I had a go-round on this with Gabe Stein of FastCo.Labs. Since Gittip is anonymous in the particulars I thought maybe that would get around the journalistic conflict of interest, but Gabe articulated how that probably wasn't sufficient

    I can't think of a better reply (from Gittip's point of view) to yesterday's "Money and Open Source": https://medium.com/open-source-life/d44a1953749c . Thank you, jeresig and Khan Academy, for

    You're too kind. :) The full story is a bit more complex, but, yes: my wife and kids and I are sacrificing financially so that I can work full-time on Gittip. When I work on Gittip part-time, it flatlines. When I work on Gittip full-time, i

    The thing is, these "open calls" are hidden in plain site. How many people are actually watching an hour and a half of me gabbing with somebody? I understand that journalism has traditionally been about "the scoop." In a world of informatio

    Thanks! I didn't know that about NeXT. It's especially interesting compared to Apple, as you mention! Also, your comment about Peter Thiel led me to discover these great lecture notes from a class of his: http://blakemasters.com/peter-thie

    I can understand and respect that decision. :^) I actually really love the way that Balanced is finding its own definition for what an open company is. It's so much more powerful than if we always agreed on everything. And I hope you know y

    I would've been happy to look harder for a compromise, but clearly he wasn't interested in wasting his time with me. And why should he? TechCrunch has no shortage of stories. Gittip is peanuts.

    The Chrome example brings up a good point: it's a lot easier to fix niggling details on small projects than big ones. We could probably stand to see some innovation in architecting open products to be easy to install only part of into a dev
