crazy idea: let's publicly fund FOSS projects so devs working on stuff they like with a passion can actually make a good living and enable sustainable non-profits to hire expertise, marketing and all the stuff a company needs
the result would be actually good software and happy devs
Ok let me know how you plan on getting other people to fund that.
Public funds.
There actually are lots of initiatives (e.g. https://bigdatastack.eu/european-open-source-initiative ) but it's still young and there are multiple problems between available public money and contributors actually earning a salary.
Money is not the problem.
