Lemeowski writes "Open source software projects are seeing some success on fundraising sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. But Warren Konkel believes open source software needs a better funding model that's more aligned with how software is built. So Konkel, who was the first hire at LivingSocial, teamed up with his friend David Rappo, a producer for games including Guitar Hero and Skylander, and founded Bountysource, a crowdfunding and bounty site specifically designed to help developers raise money for their OSS projects, bug fixes and feature requests. In this interview, Konkel talks about how he recently snagged a $1.1 million investment in Bountysource, gives developers tips on launching a fundraising effort for their OSS project, and more." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=A+New+Way+To+Fund+Open+Source+Software +Projects%2C+Bug+Fixes+and+Feature+Requests%3A+htt p%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F151TnTu) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F09%2F18%2F0114237%2Fa-new-way-to-fund-open-source-software-projects-bug-fixes-and-feature-requests%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfa cebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/09/18/0114237/a-new-way-to-fund-open-source-software-projects-bug-fixes-and-feature-requests?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
