[Chicago] Open Source Time Donation?

[Brady Cox]

Yeah, I don't think Open Source Software is exactly the same thing as a

depends on if the project managers have worked the system and set it up as
one or not.

I'm pretty sure it's not that easy though, otherwise I'd have set up my own
college fund years ago... damn... that's a great idea.  Why couldn't I have
come up with that seven years ago?
