[Matplotlib-devel] contract work?

[Thomas Caswell]

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.

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.
