This is absolutely true for
#NumFOCUS
projects.
Looking just at
#pandas
,
#Matplotlib
, and
#NumPy
, of 38 maintainers:
-32 are unpaid
-3 are paid at 10% time
-1 is paid at 20% time
-2 are paid at 100% time until April 2020 (grant ends)
#SciPy2018
#PyData
#OpenSource
In the pyramid structure of open source contribution and development, those at the top — maintainers — are often under heavy responsibilities with no or minimal funding.
