We are currently in an age where a large portion of open source apps are actively maintained, users understand more about open source than ever before and open source software is almost as good, if not better, than their proprietary counterparts.

This is just a huge thank you to anyone and everyone involved in the making and maintaining of open source software.

As a regular tester, I do my best to provide any feedback I can to make your vision come to fruition.

    Big reporters/Testers deserve some props as well. Testing the code on a variety of different situations is how software gets stable, and I can’t do that myself. And properly and concisely describing a bug or glitch is usually the key to getting it resolved quickly.

      Often the most difficult part of solving it is being able to reproduce it / find the exact situation in which the problem occurs.

      Indeed. The people who are active testers are people I respect immensely.

      I use custom ROMs on my devices and it always surprised me, just how much people help out. It’s really really amazing.
