Till Kamppeter, co-founder and lead of the OpenPrinting project, has put out a call for sponsors after being laid off by Canonical:

I want to continue doing OpenPrinting for a living, and need a way to do so. I am currently working with the Linux Foundation to make OpenPrinting an [organization] which can receive sponsor funding. So now I am looking for sponsors.

Even greater would be, if independent of this somebody could hire me to continue OpenPrinting...
