<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Sorry for being cryptic. For context Ryan May and my self are at the NumFOCUS sustainability workshop [1] and one of the themes is how to connect companies (who have problems the want solved, cash, but developers with knowledege to fix the problems) with developers (who know how to solve the problems, but may not have time or motivation to solve said problems). Not everyone can take money for work (due to either contract or visia restrictions) so if a company came to me and said "We need issue XXX fixed, we can pay you $$", I do not know who I could direct that to. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">At this point it is all very preliminary, there is currently no money on offer and I can see several ways to organize this (through NumFOCUS, through one of several companies (both US and EU based) with varying business models, and direct freelance work). I am just testing the waters and starting to build an internal list of people who are available.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Tom<div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://www.numfocus.org/forum2018">https://www.numfocus.org/forum2018</a></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 9:50 PM Benjamin Root <<a href="mailto:ben.v.root@gmail.com">ben.v.root@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Is this going to be like bug bounty work, or contract work to add specific features, or something more high-level than that?<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 9:25 PM OceanWolf via Matplotlib-devel <<a href="mailto:matplotlib-devel@python.org" target="_blank">matplotlib-devel@python.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_33224" dir="ltr"><span id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34735">If I think I understand you correctly, then yes, please let me know :)</span></div><div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071qtdSeparateBR" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_33544"><br><br></div><div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yahoo_quoted" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34745" style="display:block"> <div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34744"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,Sans-Serif;font-size:16px" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34743"> <div dir="ltr" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34742"> <font id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1537796647844_34746" size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">From:</span></b> Ryan May <<a href="mailto:rmay31@gmail.com" target="_blank">rmay31@gmail.com</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> Thomas Caswell <<a href="mailto:tcaswell@gmail.com" target="_blank">tcaswell@gmail.com</a>> <br><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc:</span></b> matplotlib development list <<a href="mailto:matplotlib-devel@python.org" target="_blank">matplotlib-devel@python.org</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Monday, 24 September 2018, 21:49<br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Matplotlib-devel] contract work?<br> </font> </div> <div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071y_msg_container"><br><div id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356"><div><div dir="ltr">I'm able and interested.<div><br clear="none"></div><div>Ryan</div></div><br clear="none"><div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356gmail_quote"><div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356yqt2839064402" id="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356yqt31094"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Sep 24, 2018 at 2:51 PM Thomas Caswell <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:tcaswell@gmail.com" target="_blank">tcaswell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Folks,<div><br clear="none"></div><div>Out of curiosity, who on this list is able and willing to do Matplotlib work on small/short-term contracts (either through NumFOCUS or directly from a company)?</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Feel free to email me privately if you do not want to respond openly about this.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Tom<br clear="all"><div><br clear="none"></div>-- <br clear="none"><div class="m_-4610500413944612221m_8291246548199441071yiv3596806356m_7822541089197234574gmail_signature" dir="ltr">Thomas Caswell<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="mailto:tcaswell@gmail.com" target="_blank">tcaswell@gmail.com</a></div></div></div>
