Please join me in thanking Big Blue Door for their very generous support of my open source development.No sooner had I written a blog post suggesting people could sponsor my work on LocalGov Drupal than Big Blue Door had answered the call.I mentioned in my last blog post that if agencies and organisations wanted to contribute more to open source but can’t because they are busy with client work, then why not sponsor some one else to contribute for them.
If the person contributing is a seasoned contributor and ready to work on a project that you are invested in, it makes perfect sense. It also means that person can hit the ground running and start making an impact straight away. With this being the case, Big Blue Door got in contact with me and instead of offering me sponsorship of one day per week (which is what I was asking for), they offered two days per week.
