It appears that not all Open Source Software developers are pathetic losers coding from their grandmother’s basement. \u00a0Here is a paragraph from Dan William’s blog post<\/a> announcing the new release of NetworkManager application:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no better way to celebrate the release of NetworkManager 0.9.2 than a sip of ice-cold cocktail. \u00a0It\u2019s something pink-colored \u2014 I don\u2019t know what \u2014 and it\u2019s phenomenal. \u00a0And if I ever run out, I just ring a bell and somebody fills it up! \u00a0It\u2019s basically like Paradise, except Paradise doesn\u2019t have the latest version of NetworkManager. \u00a0Here\u2019s a hot tip: make your first half billion and buy yourself a private island. \u00a0Then move there and write open-source software for fun. \u00a0It\u2019s a pretty great life. \u00a0After a hard day on the beach bending networks to my will, I wind down by building buried hatches solely to confuse the island\u2019s next owner (I\u2019m trading up to a private archipelago in a few years).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also shares a beautiful view in front of him at the time of his tagging the release. \u00a0Whether it’s true or not, it’s a wonderful picture.<\/p>\n

P.S.: I don’t really know who Dan Williams is and if he is in fact a multimillionaire sitting on his own island with a pink-colored cocktail in one hand and a refill bell in another. \u00a0Even if he isn’t, there are enough examples of other people who’ve made a fortune and are now enjoying work on the Open Source Software. \u00a0I’m not kidding. \u00a0Ask Ubuntu people if you don’t believe me.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
