Hi everybody!
i am having a doubt for a long time, how people are earning by menas of opensource softwares?

Consider that i am developing and promoting the opensource product, then how can I earn?, how can i get reputation?...

Many of my friends told me that its possible by means of sponsors, but how its possible? whats teh gain of giving sponsors to the promotors and creators of opensource?, can anyone give the methodology and managing ways for opensource project and its revenue generation?.
thanks in advance...

I have designed some cutomer websites by using only opensource software. Made me a few thousand over the years. All but pure profit too, as I didn't have to shell out on any expensive software either.:D
