It's official! I've thought for a while about what I'd like to do instead of "a real job" and working on my open source software projects is what I ultimately decided upon, so here's my first post on SubscribeStar! I'm still getting the hang of things here,. but it's going to be a while before I have enough support to "quit my day job" anyway. If you have not yet seen my video about my push to gain enough support to work on my open source software full-time, go to jodybruchon.com and that video should be at the top of the home page playlist.

I'm finalizing the dollar amount needed to quit working, but I'm not ready to settle on a number just yet. As with all things in humanity, the issue is not as simple as tallying up monthly bills and adding a little margin for safety. I can state for an absolute fact that the required amount to go full-time with open source will be over $2,000 per month.

I had originally created this account with the goal of just making videos, though I never promoted it for that purpose. I am replacing the current "goals" section soon, but I definitely can't finalize that today either. This whole thing is a process that won't happen overnight.

Thanks to everyone who can contribute a monthly pledge to make this possible. Even if you can't contribute financially, you can tell others about my software and my tutorial videos so that more people are aware of them, and I'll gladly thank you for that as well.
