      I wanted to compare the Linux Foundation compensation to other, similar organizations, so I looked them up. Here's what I found...https://twitter.com/bcantrill/status/1042615905052549123 …

      Like the Linux Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation compensates every board member who works an average of 40 hours per week (though much less than Linux Foundation). A few are paid only by the related for-profit (Mozilla Corporation).pic.twitter.com/YyvSTYTQmz

          The Free Software Foundation only compensates their executive director. All other board members receive $0, even Stallman, who's noted as working an average of 60 hours per week in his role.pic.twitter.com/TlKnrp3DkD

          Ruby Central provides a small amount of compensation for their board members (who appear to work more hours on average than board members at other, similar organizations), and their administrators are compensated for the work they do (15 hours averaged per week).pic.twitter.com/BW3wZeIk8q

          The JS Foundation (who uses the Linux Foundation for management services, btw, paying them over $100K a year) does not compensate board members or key people, whom they note as averaging only 1 hour per week.pic.twitter.com/T92RlkHuVO

          I'm only presenting this as data. I'm not making any judgement calls on it. Each non-profit organization and open source community has their own ideals and philosophies regarding these things.
