[moved from -questions/-advocacy to -chat] On Sun, Dec 03, 2000 at 09:59:42PM +0000, Terry Lambert scribbled: | xavian anderson macpherson <professional3d@home.com> types: | > and UFS to write to NTFS COMPRESSED, | This is a matter of code and of someone dedicating the effort to | write it. I would go so far to say that, other than VOP_ABORT, | it is nothing more than "grunt work". The major amount of the | effort would be dealing with the log and the compression. | | If you are willing to provide the equipment and software I would | need, and willing to put up a surety bond that I will be paid | $170,000 for completing the work in no less than 3 months and | no more than 6 months, I'd be willing to do the work. If you | are willing to change that to $510,000, I will do it as a | work-for-hire, which would mean that you would keep the rights | to sell, license, or otherwise dispose of the code, since you, | not I, would be the copyright holder. Realize that other limits | may apply, since I would start with the read-only NTFS code that | is in FreeBSD today (prices go up for a wholly independent work). | My risk is that, if I do not complete the work, I do not get | paid. I'm open to negotiation on timeframe and amount, of | course, and would provide for a time-limited exclusivity for | somewhere in the middle of the two amounts. USD$170,000.00, excluding equipment, for 3-6 months of work? :) I think I can hire a couple CS phD.'s for a year to do the job. Or, for that money for a year, any committers willing to take it? :) Heck, I know an Indian cs.utexas.edu phd. candidate who is a unix/linux guru who took a USD$7/hr kernel programming job. (Yes, he was stupid and did not know the going rates for a guy like him.) Boris, How much is USD$170,000.00 in Russian Rubles? And if you do not mind, please give us a rough estimate of how much a Russian kernel hacker gets paid an year? :) USD$510,000.00 for copyright, code, and one unix-guru's 6 months' work. Hmmm, where do I sign up for the job? :) (just kidding, no hard feelings) :-D -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
