[Discussion] Open Source does not make money by design

[rmehta]

So again, my question is, how are “you” willing to help here? How about if you starting looking at new features and start reviewing them and sharing your views?

The real reason service providers are pissed off is because they have customizations that become obsolete with each major release. And each major release is awesome. In their own self interest, they could end up contributing their customizations or force us to slow down. Well we are going to go faster than ever and I wonder if its even wasting time with people who don’t add real value instead of spending time writing or reviewing code or documentation.

That’s wonderful. If you’re happy with the way things are – with the character and quantity of contributions you receive from people outside Frappe Tech – there’s absolutely nothing else to talk about.

EDIT: This post was made in good faith, but it seems not to have been received as intended that way. I’d love to be able to explain what I mean further, but the thread has been locked and I will respect that. In any case, Rushabh, it would be very helpful to many I think if you clarified somewhere the kind of relationship you hope to cultivate between the maintainers and the community. Right now, I’m not sure it’s obvious to any of us.

This is exactly the reason, just because of a handful of people, the forum is waste of time and I regret making the original post. You just chose to make a sweeping conclusion that “I am happy the way things are”, when I am actively engaging to drive change.

Hope you enjoy the software
