So you want to be given something in return for your labor?  Nothing wrong
with that, but you're more likely to be successful if you choose a non-free
project to contribute to.  If your labor is valuable to commercial
interests, don't give it away for free.  Get those commercial interests to
pay you, and then, if you'd like, you can donate your pay to "the
community".
