[consulting] Module developer looking for subcontracting work

[Victor Kane]

No aspersions cast here, but are you suggesting that DrupalCon become a
"Time and Motion" productivity conference for employers seeking to turn
Drupal development into a plug-in commodity? In response to a member of the
community saying they have availability?

You are also actually suggesting that "coders" work for free in order to
supply you with data.

Just an alert to show how the Open Source business model is just that.

In terms of methodology, this would introduce a waterfall approach and
destroy any possibility of using an agile, incremental and iterative
approach.
