Why these Ad Bard advertisements?
I maintain many OSS module, and that costs a lot. “Costing” is not measured in money alone: it can be “costing me many free hours”, “a lot of time that I could have spent on fun new features”, but most often “costing me time that I could have spent on projects that I can bill for, that pay my rent”.
Which is a pity. Because this often means that all these no-so-cool tasks (such as porting a module to a newer Drupal version), or the hard ones (such as rewriting that Ruby Gem entirely, to make it more modular) will never get done (in time).
Therefore, I registered with the Open Source Advertising network Ad Bard and will donate all the ad revenues to the various projects I am involved in.
Adbard is a nice network: they advertise only for- and on Open Source related projects.
TODO: (and note to self) fnd a way to report back any revenues and where they were spent.
