This is only true of tech companies, there is a lot of potential funding out there in non-tech companies, OSS has been huge for them but they're generally not great at contributing back. If we could somehow bring them in and divorce OSS from tech companies that would be a huge win.
- RickSanchez2600 8y agoNon-Tech companies barely know how to protect themselves from hackers and ransomware than know how to program and contribute to OSS projects. In my experience in working with non-tech companies IT departments the managers don't know how the tech works so they cannot properly manage it. A tech company has managers that know how to manage technology and programming. So you need that for the non-tech companies but managers don't want to learn or be replaced with managers who already know.
