200k for a single developer?? Not everybody lives in SF nor NY.

Eg the perl foundation pays about 50k for a single dev.

The type of developer(s) that the COIN-OR foundation needs are highly specialized. This person will likely have a PhD in mathematical optimization. Also, some percentage of that funding will need to be used for administration (e.g. hiring said developer, sending receipts to donors, etc).
