So is it required to be a slob to be a FOSS consultant? Maybe he should spend some of that “decent living” on a maid.
I find this amazing that people think that it is impassable to make a descent living off open source software. I work for a company and do quite well out of it. We do this by selling top quality Drupal installations.
