--- Comment #83 from Marcel Partap <mpar...@gmx.net> --- It's clear that the current global pool of FLOSS maintainers is overloaded and we as open source community should strive to set up more attractive incentive systems and get more people involved in development in 2019. We at https://OpenSourceEcology.de are trying to get industry investing in open source hardware, which is difficult. OSEG wants to team up with the free software free knowledge student club https://fsfw-dresden.de to circulate more of our free software USB sticks. With support of our Studentenrat, we gave away 120 8GB-sticks with a KDE debian live to uni freshers this year.. The next idea is to give these sticks with live working office & pim suite & fresh builds of freecad to f.e. industrial engineers to check out as a tool for business and offering them to invest into resolving specific bugs and implementing specific features (c.f. blog post https://fsfw-dresden.de/2018/06/interview-sander-finanzierung-freie-software.html "Interview mit Prof. Sander: Finanzierung von freier Software"). If we can offer a better more accessible ecosystem (faircoin bounties, public monuments, free chocolate? .. c.f. https://fsfw-dresden.de/2018/08/funding-floss.html "Funding Freedom Initiative - Idee zur Finanzierung freier Softwareprojekte") for this, we might have a chance to convert more of society to use and develop open source systems. Or we wait until http://OpenAI.com learns to code and have the AI agents fix the bugs : ) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
