Which top jobs require you to be a widely-publicized OSS author?
I've only ever heard this to be a plus (which I believe is fair), not a requirement.

This surprised me when I started - I thought I would need to be indoctrinated, but then it just became normal to see open source as the only way to work. That said, RH hires key contributors all the time (as do many companies), so being the maintainer of a project is definitely a plus.
