My personal take on open source contribution: If this is related to your work, you are getting paid for working on the contribution by your employer, then your employer should get the credit, thus you should use your work email/id. Otherwise, treat it as your personal hobby project and don't use employer resource to work on it.
- balfirevic 7y agoOnly "should" here is whatever arrangement you agreed to with your employer.

- fishywang 7y agoUsing your work email doesn't remove your name. Both you and your employer get the credit.

- fishywang 7y agoIf all your ifs are met, then you are not getting paid for it, which is a criteria from my comment :) Also this whole discussion is about suggest against people from using employer equipment to do personal projects :)
