   When I'm talking about project sustainability, I'm talking about more than developers by the way.

   I don't code in C which at the moment is what @librecast is written in. But I still contribute time, with grant applications, reporting, managing the project account, community etc.

   This isn't directly funded. It's a similar story for folks in other projects who give that support, their time for gratis. What happens when their cash runs out, the project loses.

     My contribution ensures our devs don't have to take time away from doing that.

     Not all devs are suited to that either.

     Project sustainability needs to be more than chuck money at devs. Yes, we would not be here without that code.

     But the so called "soft skills" are just as valuable.
