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

Step 1: Get a regular corporate job that allows you to work OSS some of the time

Step 2: Work on OSS while doing your day job.

If you're lucky you'll find a company that actually uses said OSS!

Ask HN: How do you make a living contributing to and/or creating OSS projects?
