Well, I was wondering how you make a living if you don't get contracts/contributions like this. Not to pry too much but I guess the services you set up are actually profitable or do you have to support yourself by contracting?
I have begun freelancing myself and find that I have a lot more time for my own projects and open-source contributions. Still, sometimes I wish I could drop the contracting all together.
I'd love to one day have something that I created or contributed to, in my own time, be popular enough to get hired to work on it.
