   I've been working as a FOSS developer full-time for almost 3 years new and I find it fulfilling, meaningful, enjoyable and just awesome.

   Due to forced migration my expenses have increased significantly, my savings aren't infinite either, but I would like to keep working on FOSS full-time and to do so I decided to make an ethical sustainable business.

   I don't know how to achieve it yet, but I'll be sharing my journey on the streams.

     @abcdw Good luck! I am also aiming to go independent this year and make a living from FOSS project work and creating educational content.

     I'll be curious to see what you do! Let me know if there's any way I can help

     @ekaitz_zarraga @daviwil Sure!

     I would love to collab as well!

     Right now I improve stream setup, cleanup rde and explore guile testing APIs, but in the background I look for options. On the next stream I plan to think about available FOSS business models and weight there cons and pros and asses how much they applicable.
