I know that you have been in contact with our client Camille Vergara at Bountysource and expressed an interest in the campaign for RVM, one of the most popular versioning tools for Ruby development. 

You may know that RVM’s primary sponsor EngineYard recently pulled its financial support after two years.
 
The RVM fundraiser is now one of the most popular projects on Bountysource: https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/489-rvm-2-0. 

The fundraiser highlights a key dilemma for open-source developers, even those of popular services like RVM: getting money to support development is a process fraught with uncertainty, often requiring developers to trust in the vagaries of company patronage (like EngineYard for RVM) or run development shops on the side (like Canonical for Ubuntu).

We can arrange an interview with Bountysource CEO Warren Konkel on how RVM is jump starting funding in the wake of its lost sponsorship, if you’re still interested.
 
Would love your candid thoughts either way.
 
All the best,
Colette";s:12:"comment_type";s:12:"contact_form";s:7:"user_ip";s:13:"216.38.150.34";s:10:"user_agent";s:120:"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36";s:8:"referrer";s:36:"http://blog.reybango.com/contact-me/";s:4:"blog";s:24:"http://blog.reybango.com";s:15:"SERVER_SOFTWARE";s:13:"Apache/2.2.22";s:11:"REQUEST_URI";s:12:"/contact-me/";s:4:"PATH";s:28:"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin";s:16:"REDIRECT_HANDLER";s:10:"php-stable";s:15:"REDIRECT_STATUS";s:3:"200";s:9:"UNIQUE_ID";s:24:"UnGXDUYgRBMAADvaKpwAAACu";s:10:"SCRIPT_URL";s:12:"/contact-me/";s:10:"SCRIPT_URI";s:36:"http://blog.reybango.com/contact-me/";s:25:"WM_UCONTROL_XMLRPC_SERVER";s:16:"http://10.0.0.13";s:13:"ACCESS_DOMAIN";s:21:"s74133.gridserver.com";s:15:"DATABASE_SERVER";s:33:"internal-db.s74133.gridserver.com";s:9:"SITE_ROOT";s:11:"/home/74133";s:12:"SITE_CGIROOT";s:19:"/home/74133/cgi-bin";s:13:"SITE_HTMLROOT";s:42:"/home/74133/domains/blog.reybango.com/html";s:12:"HTTP_PHPCONF";s:10:"1976107221";s:9:"HTTP_HOST";s:17:"blog.reybango.com";s:15:"HTTP_CONNECTION";s:10:"keep-alive";s:14:"CONTENT_LENGTH";s:4:"1351";s:11:"HTTP_ACCEPT";s:74:"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8";s:11:"HTTP_ORIGIN";s:24:"http://blog.reybango.com";s:15:"HTTP_USER_AGENT";s:120:"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36";s:12:"CONTENT_TYPE";s:33:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded";s:12:"HTTP_REFERER";s:36:"http://blog.reybango.com/contact-me/";s:20:"HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING";s:17:"gzip,deflate,sdch";s:20:"HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE";s:14:"en-US,en;q=0.8";s:16:"SERVER_SIGNATURE";s:50:"Apache/2.2.22 Server at blog.reybango.com Port 80
