I'm a freelance software developer and I've just had my first real experience getting paid by a client to work on an open-source project (some library we use heavily in our app that is lacking a few feature we need).
I know there are companies out there that pay employee to do a % of their time or sometimes even work exclusively on open-source projects.
I'm wondering how I could go about doing more of that type of work as a freelancer and if others have done the same.
I contribute as much as I can to open-source off-the-clock but I'm curious if there are people out there getting paid regularly to what I'm only just having an experience of.

Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions or leads!
