Totally agree with you ! It's why I try to participate too. I try to 
speak about open source in africa where people in universities, etc. 
can't buy Adobe, Word...
But it's not very easy because the industry send them free product 
(against open source)...

Great !!!!
We'll wait for your good job. I hope your contribution will help Lauris 
Kaplinsky to come back to us because he seems to be sad since the 
begining of inskape. He has no job and hope to make money with Sodipodi 
(maybe by selling to companies and still free for users ?).
