This sounds like a great opportunity. But I share Mike's questions. Can you clarify what (1) and (2) mean and what's needed for us to pitch in?
hiya pen-yuan, ha, bit of cross-over, i just replied to mike.
(2) you, as an independent individual, with your own money, sign up, pay the membership yourself, buy equipment yourself, under my "tree". over time if you happen not to put anyone under *your* "tree" i will drop people in it *for* you. you'll end up receiving commission "for free" so to speak (and so will i)
(1) you don't pay anything AT ALL. you sign up, and *I* will pay your membership, *i* will buy your equipment. this can only happen OVER TIME (perhaps in 1, 2 or 3 months time), and i will ONLY do this if you are a software libre or hardware developer who is committed, long-term.
