Until the day FOSS development does not get recognised as a critical job by governments and global ruling bodies, FOSS will not carry over into the next century. FOSS is barely surviving due to passion, and passion alone does not pay for tummy, let alone families or creating an environment to encourage people to become FOSS developers. People hate donating, so FOSS will die and capitalism will win.
It cannot continue on passion alone. Have you ever worked for a home/family with zero financial need and only passion? Does not work.
