The scope of building a large #FOSS webservice is so large, it's impossible for one person to handle it alone. But it's also very very difficult to find competent and trustworthy people to cover the aspects you cannot. Especially DBAs!

A #DBA could be considered like the healer in a "Holy Trinity" game (Tank/Healer/DPS). It's the role everyone needs but very few enjoy doing.

If you find a competent and trustworthy DBA to help your FOSS project. They're worth their weight in gold!
