Re: Let me get this straight

I avoid terms like hobbyist because it takes away from the professional caliber of many of the coders. I use the term volunteer to reflect that most of them aren't being paid, though corporations like Novell, HP, IBM, Google, etc. do pay for coders to release OSS code.
