To be honest, I was looking at filled submit link form about 10 minutes, thinking that my offer don't worth people time. I hoped to get something like 3 comments. So much attention is amazing to me. This was not planned as clever lead gen trick.
I am considering open source as good place to learn and to generate some value for people. I do love sinatra framework. I pull source and read diffs every couple days. But they have core team which fixes all bugs in seconds, so I cannot find application there. And my goal is more to make some contacts and to know people in this field. I always was a silent reader and now I want to communicate with intresting people.
