DESCRIPTION:10 years ago I gave a [talk](https://vimeo.com/144089061) at FO
 SS4G suggesting that if you wanted to get a "good" response from open sour
 ce developers that you should try to bank some social capital first. For t
 he next 10 years every message sent to the GeoServer user list (now defunc
 t) had a link to that talk in it's signature.  Did that make any differenc
 e?\n\nThis talk will look back on the past decade and look at the changes 
 that have occurred in the open source community in general and in FOSS4G i
 n particular. Many more companies and governments have jumped into using o
 pen source software as it  is "free" in the gratis sense. In many cases th
 ey have not considered that "free software" is worth exactly what you pay 
 for it. Instead they continue to show a remarkable sense of entitlement\, 
 demanding security based on automated scanning with out offering any help.
  \n\nIt has been suggested to me that "not everyone can be a programmer" s
 o it is unreasonable to expect people to contribute to fixes for their sof
 tware\, but there are many other ways to contribute to a project such as d
 ocumentation fixes\, tutorials\, web site design  and many other things th
 at they can do.
