Personally, I could accomplish a lot more things across a broad category of technology doing a side project than OSS. I love the FOSS community and pushing things to better a project is great. However, if it’s not something I’m deeply invested in, OSS can be very time consuming, just like a regular job. If you were the hiring manager, I would expect you to have the skills to objectively evaluate the value of a project on a CV whether it be FOSS or pet.
