Do you mean "wanting" ? In that case my experience disagrees with you; henever I've run a network with OpenBSC there was always at least one person asking for data. > As I said, we need to do more work on making Osmocom more visible > and increasing community.

Paying clients have nothing to do with the open source projects as such, since the projects are not a company. Companies which want to market products and solutions based on osmocom projects are free to do so. > You may disagree, but IMHO the way to improve situatioin is to have > support for cheaper hardware (hello SDR) and easy to use support for SIP. No - that is just the way to increase the number of paying clients for your particular company. And besides, I find lcr quite easy to use. With literally no telco background other than two years of playing with SIP I managed to learn it in about a day at the camp in 2011. I taught lcr to one other person in about two hours some months ago. It is not very complicated. Really, what osmocom needs is IMNSHO competent contributions. How you pay for them is your problem, if you want to contribute something. //Peter
