Companies rely on open source more than ever, but during the #OCX Webinar Week, Boris Baldassari reminded us of something critical: 🔹 Using open source is easy. 🔹 Participating responsibly is a skill. 🎥 https://hubs.la/Q03TJtn60 In this session, Boris highlighted the patterns he sees across Eclipse Foundation projects, specifically the difference between companies that strengthen a community and those that unintentionally slow it down. ➡️ It starts with communication. Healthy contributors keep conversations public: in issues, pull requests, discussions, or mailing lists. ➡️ The best collaborators work in the open. They engage directly in the project’s public repo, where maintainers can review changes as they happen. ➡️ The median review time across Eclipse Foundation projects is 12 days, and issues typically stay open 32 days. Companies that respond faster help keep the project and their own engineers moving forward. ➡️ Sustainable contribution also means respecting the project’s governance, avoiding single-vendor bottlenecks, and relying on tools like Eclipse Dash for license checks and security awareness.
