+Yes, that is a good view (anybody can join us..) on this topic also.

+What I learned about the years in information technology (I'm 43y) and

+to be active NOT reactive. Sometimes, I have the illusion, that - just
+in open source project- everybody relies on: That is an open source
+project, so all will go fine, beacuse we are the good, not the ugly.

+change. :-)
