Open source investment and involvement are still considered risky and expensive, even though there are individuals, companies and studies that say the opposite. What's your take on this?
In this My Open Source Experience podcast episode Ildiko and Phil explore corporate involvement in the Linux kernel community with Greg Kroah-Hartman. Greg has been a long-term Linux kernel contributor and maintainer, being responsible for the stable branches. Greg had both personal interest in getting involved, as well as motivation from the company he worked for at the time. The Linux kernel has been a popular choice to build an operating system, and therefore corporate investment has been strong in the project with 80% - 85% of the contributors being involved in the community as part of their paid job.
