Thing I pondered about.. would people like a system where people can report hours used on making a maemo.org project/task and then people can choose to pay for those hours?

For the maemo professionals out there, there has been some discussion about this.
Get yourselves involved in linkedin, and add yourselves to the maemo.org list.

I have no idea whether I can make a living continuing my maemo development, the community very graciously gathered round the idea of with what I am attempting to build, hopefully this whole platform can become a commercial hotbed.

we have all the tools required to give businesses a stable mobile platform and from my experience job hunting have found at least 50-100 fulltime posts in all areas of the world for all different kinds of developers.

We (the maemo community) should be working together to find and fill these leads and help each other out to make maemo last for the next 10 years.

I reached the stage in the 'ship yet?' thread of offering my body for an n900... but I don't think it's worth that much (my body, not the n900).

On topic, it would be good to see the platform become something big enough that people could make a living developing on it, but wouldn't that change its nature somehow?

What? No, there were countless other Canadians there.

I also had a nice local lady stop her bike and stroke my neck when the "Vampire Moth" bit/stung me. She seemed genuinely concerned.
