Wild West of Open Source Release Management
Open source code is an amazing part of software development. There is a small group of lucky people that get to work on open source software full time, either paid by their company, work on a project that is usefull enough that it receives enough donations, or just financially stable enough personally to do it. The reality is that most people work on open source as a side project, either after work hours, during lunch etc. They devote some portion of their free time to working on a project that they make little or no money from. It’s hard to enumerate all the benefits free open source has brought the software development community. I think most people that use open source software know and understand them well.
