Community & Users: What do they want? 21 October 2009 19:57
Interesting article and comments. Besides what VC's want, what are
open source users saying? Check out this related survey and blog:

I was also talking to Nuxeo CEO Eric Barroca recently about a major
new contribution to the company's LGPL software. A developer at Leroy
Merlin, a French DIY retailer, contributed support for OpenSocial to
its enterprise content management software.
Wonder if the core model will or has impacted the usefulness or value
of community contributions? What if a vendor wants a community
contribution for its own? Eric's recent blog says: Open source
licensing scheme and open development models enable collaboration
between self-interested entities, which can combine forces as they
need within a clear legal framework, and such without a complex
initial collaboration setup and big contracts negotiation."
