Bruce Momjian on how companies can contribute to open source

[Posted December 20, 2006 by corbet]

PostgreSQL hacker Bruce Momjian has posted an article on how companies can better work with the free software community. "Employees usually circulate their proposal inside their companies first before sharing it with the community. Unfortunately, many employees never take the additional step of sharing the proposal with the community. This means the employee is not benefiting from community oversight and suggestions, often leading to a major rewrite when a patch is submitted to the community."
