In the future, you can sell pakages, with support, the linux Idea, if you
download just figure out how to overcome problems in the huge Beos community :P
I personal would be interested in t-shirts saying; "I support OpenBeos". Or
a nice coffeemug. I think for support products, there's a real market, not
big but it is out there.
I really believe also that hiring programmers, should benefit the project
in some ways, but it can also disturb the project, how do all the
programmers feel who are working for free. How do you organise such an
organisation, I think, the best way to attract more programmers would be
the reward payment. example: Pay ppl for the amount of code, quality and
how hard they are trying.
And paying 30$ every 4 month is way above my budget :(
I hope you ppl, can read my crappy english and my crappy way of telling.

That's a good idea, since you can't work full time programming OpenBeos without receive money for it.
And maybe the future OBOS Distros should help with money too. After all, the Distros won't make money without your work.
