- c0l0 6y agoFor many projects, you still can - if you know where to look. It's what makes FOSS "support" (i.e., having someone to talk to about a technical problem in a meaningful way, so that you get closer to resolving it) so much more effective than costly support contracts with big and faceless corporations that make you jump through all manners of hoops - only to end up with some expert level blame-shifting, and no real solution in the end.
