Get Paid to Solve Open Source Problems
Getting help on issues related to open source projects isn't always like walking a straight line. Sure there are bug reports, mailing lists and discussion forums, but the challenge of actually getting specific local issues addressed is not a sure thing.
That's the gap that OpenLogic is attempting to fill with its Expert Community program.
The Expert Community program, formally launched earlier this year, taps the open source community on behalf of OpenLogic clients to get the answers, fixes and, in some cases, features that they want.
"The idea was that we could either hire developers that worked on each of the projects or we could work closely with the community to get problems solved," Peters told internetnews.com. "We take first-line calls from customers, and if we find it's something technical in the product we contact our community members."
When a community member actually fixes an issue, OpenLogic compensates them for their efforts.
