Site tracks F/OSS coding bounties

chatooya writes "Bounty County is a new website that lists programming bounties for free and open source software projects. It was launched this week by the Participatory Culture Foundation, which has some bounties of their own. You can search, browse, or get feeds of new bounties and if your project is offering a bounty, you can list it here." This is, IIRC, the fourth incaranation of a site like this that I've seen. Maybe this one will work.

ok... so i checked out the pages and there is NOTHING for C++ and im getting the feeling that they wont allow it. honestly, what the hell is wrong with C++?! as for a large projects, it makes them more maintainable and modular. so what is the deal? i understand having a preference to it but lets get real, everyone in the professional world (yes, including the ones who make high quality products) who are making professional apps go with some form of C++, whether it be C# or Java. yes, im calling java a c++ derivative. id love to help but this C elitism is killing me.

You people are fools.

These businesses are using you like slaves [which, for those of you who like to ponder old parchment documents written by dead white European males, was outlawed many score of years ago].

$1000 would barely pay for one contractor day if the contractor were hired through an agency at prevailing rates:

($75/hr for the contractor + $25 overhead for the agency) X (8hrs/day) = $800/day

And believe it or not, an employee [with SS, Mdcr/Mdcd, UnEmpl Ins, Roth, 401K, Health, Dental, etc etc etc] would probably cost even more.

These people are trying to fool you into creating enterprise-level software, involving something like a man-year's worth of labor, at renumeration rates of maybe tenths of a cent per hour.

PLEASE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!

Even /.-ers can't be this stupid, can they?
