- MOSE Shorts - 5: Dividing Time Between Upstream and Product Development Work
Justifying the value of upstream work is often hard. Being involved in open source projects tends to fall short when competing with product deadlines and priorities.
In this MOSE Short, Allison Randal and Ildiko talk about the debates on how much time developers should spend contributing to open source projects versus working on their company's proprietary solutions, and weigh different options from full-time allocation to part-time upstream work. The group also discusses strategies of harmonizing upstream and product development work and priorities, the importance of sharing updates within the company about the open source project, like upcoming releases, important bug fixes, and more, and continuously showing the value of upstream involvement.

In this MOSE Short, Jim Hall talks about how the FreeDOS use cases evolved over the years, including academic usage, hobbyists, a railway communication system, and booting an IBM PC 5150 from a vinyl record!
