<p>It is not about professionalism. It is about the system. As
stated before, i really would prefer using FOSS-<i>Android</i>
instead of the proprietary version. Meritocracy that is used for
creating FOSS means that functionalities would be implemented that
are necessary to solve a problem or sometimes to have fun instead
of getting likes from a majority and forcing them to use it for
creating profit. Of course, i prefer if something has been done by
a professional. Do i get you right that you call developers of <i>tex-live</i>
amateurs? On the other hand, how many discoveries have been made
by amateurs if they are not limited by the rules of their
employer? Usually, there are style, security, usability and other
guidelines if FOSS is large. FOSS-development is a great example
of a sharing society where i want to live. Therefore, i wish the
same way to be implemented in every branch: also in producing cars
and clothes. There have been made efforts for open-source hardware
design. i do not accept the current reality which is FOS without
the other <i>S</i> or financial slavery system. It only works
because so many people accept it. Once people stop accepting it
the system can be replaced. Therefore, all the people who accept
proprietary system are enemies of sharing society. i also think
that people thriving for sharing society cannot change that as
people are built so. Is the technical construct called human
designed by an amateur or a professional?<br>

i am not a protector of <i>Jitsi</i>. you can offer a better
alternative as long as any proprietary software is excluded and
your offered software is FOSS.</blockquote>
<p>Do you drive a car created by amateurs, Kalmer ? Watch a
television created by amateurs ? Wear clothes created by
amateurs ? In fact, is there any aspect of your life other than
software in which you prefer the efforts of amateurs to those of
professionals ? I think it's time that you woke up to the
realities of life.<br>
