Thank you very much for the offer. Forwarding it to the okfn-help list
where this is being discussed (have added you to the sender whitelist
as well so if you reply it will go to the list without you having to
subscribe).

] participate.

I am or have been a core developer on several OKF projects so quite
important. Since this was paid work the choice is basically between
proprietary software and the ability to pay rent and feed my family
which is not, in my opinion, a position that an organisation like OKF
should be putting its workers, friends and collaborators in.

Cheers,
