I really liked how the motivation and problems for a (hobbyist) OSS project of this scale are written out.
This made it an interesting read for me - I'd say for actually almost anybody somewhat related to unpaid FOSS.
On a second note it is a shame that there are no harder governmental restrictions that hardware has to be supported by its software for a certain time. So much (forced!) waste on resources because the manufacturer wants to sell its next-generation... There are a lot of phones - still good enough hardware - but you cannot get updates for it after 3 years...
Anybody knows if translations of the book are planned?
