As many of you know I've been doing part time independent contracting for a few years now. But I got a bit too comfy and have only had a single client for awhile and they just let me know that they're going to be cutting my hours.
So, if you need a 30+ plus years of C, golang, python, etc developer, an OP/Admin with 20+ years of Linux/BSD administration, and/or 20+ years of Open Source project maintainership, please reach out!!
If you are working on Fediverse software, I highly recommend applying for the NLNet Open Social fund. They have 480K euros to apply to ActivityPub software. The deadline is March 31st.

The blast radius of a toxic contributor in an open source project is mostly invisible.
If you're a community leader you need to understand that for every prominent developer loudly driven out there were hundreds, maybe thousands of people who could have done great work, who could have been your next generation, looking at how your people treat people, at the bar your community has set for decency or dignity, silently taking their talents elsewhere, that you didn't see.
