Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

Please boost.

Thank you for your work. As someone that has built their own career, I know it's hard. But I hope you end up setting up your own business instead of being a worker beholden to suites that don't know what they have.

It's easier if you identify who your primary users are. For me, it's artists, but I suspect for you it's distro makers, and they should *all* be contributing back funding into your open print business. Even the free ones.
