How would one go about being a 'rogue' OSS contributor so to speak? Live off of donations, bounties, hackathons, ect?

I don't, and I don't think you should expect to, either. But I'd recommend doing open source work anyway — it's a fantastic way to stand out when applying for jobs, to meet other programmers who may be hiring, and to contribute back to the world!
