+# FOSS Factory -- a Bounty System for GNU Hurd Work
+
+> Hey, I have more money than time or programming skills, and I'd like to help
+> GNU Hurd development specifically -- how can we arrange for this, where can I
+> donate money for GNU Hurd development?
+
+If you're feeling like this, here is the answer; here you can donate money for
+GNU Hurd development.
+
+As its principal idea, [FOSS Factory](http://www.fossfactory.org/), means to
+serve as a hub and organizational platform for connecting Free/Open Source
+Software developers with monetary sponsors.  From
+<http://www.fossfactory.org/aboutus.php>:
+
+> FOSS Factory's mission is to accelerate the advancement of free/open source
+> software by helping people collaborate on the design, funding, and
+> development of innovative software ideas.  All software solutions produced
+> using our system are released under free/open source licenses.  Our unique
+> model brings the best of innovators from both the entrepreneurial and FOSS
+> worlds together to solve real world problems using the mass resources of the
+> FOSS community.
+
+In very general words, their modus operandi is that the community (including
+the monetary sponsors) works together with the developers on splitting up tasks
+into suitable and assessable sub-projects as necessary, and then act as the
+reviewing instance, deciding on such sub-projects' success (and payment,
+successively).  For more details see their [System
+Overview](http://www.fossfactory.org/overview.php).
+
+For now, we can assume that the amount of money to be made by working on a GNU
+Hurd task in this framework is likely to be a symbolic amount only, rather than
+being representative for the real effort that needs to be invested.  Software
+development is expensive, mostly due to the amount of time that is needed for
+completing any non-trivial task.  Instead, these bounties should be regarded as
+an attraction/reward, perhaps also simply as a motivation for a developer to
+focus on one specific problem, and bringing it to completion.
+
+
+## Working on a Task and/or Suggesting a New Task
+
+In principle, any Hurd-related development task is applicable (for example,
+from the [[GSoC project ideas|community/gsoc/project_ideas]], or from the
+[[open_issues]] list), but it is of course recommendable to match sponsors'
+ideas with those of the developers and maintainers.  For this, if you want to
+sponsor a project, but don't know which one to choose, or if you want to work
+on a bounty that is not yet listed on the site, we suggest that you talk to us
+first, either publically on the [[bug-hurd mailing
+list|mailing_lists/bug-hurd]] or privately on <hurd-maintainers@gnu.org>, if
+you prefer.
+
+Both for supporting (donating) as well as claiming a bounty, you have to
+register [at their site](http://www.fossfactory.org/), and proceed from there.
+Please don't hesitate to ask [[Thomas Schwinge|tschwinge]] if you need help.

+This new installment is in no way meant to depreciate the developers' current,
+un-paid, efforts.  It is also not meant to replace the volunteer work in the
+long term.  Neither is it meant to trick the [general FSF fund
+raising](http://donate.fsf.org/) out of a few dollars.  Instead, this is simply
+an additional means, a place for donators to give money for *Hurd-specific
+tasks*.
+
+Everyone of the existing crew is eligible to do coding under this bounty
+system, but we also hope to attract new developers -- in a sense similar to our
+many years of participation in the [[Google Summer of Code|community/gsoc]].
+
+Participation in/use of FOSS Factory's services has explicitly been set up
+personally by me, Thomas Schwinge; there is no inherent connection to the GNU
+Hurd maintainers.  This also means that each contribution that comes to life
+out of FOSS Factory's framework is subject to the same rules/review process as
+any other contribution has always been.
+
+Unless willing to discuss these publically, any concerns, questions, requests
+regarding this system can always be addressed directly to [[me|tschwinge]].
