[Pharo-project] "Does Committing Code to an Open Source Project Mean Committing Career Suicide?"
Hi Folks, In the interminable stream of conflicting information I've received this link: http://www.softwarequalityconnection.com/2011/02/does-committing-code-to-an-... I will not say that the author's resume (shown in the page linked) increase my level of credibility on her posting, but given the popularity of the site from where it was posted, and IMNHO echoes a kind of FUD typically seen w.r.t. Open Source I thought you would like to get to know about. If any of the concerns described in the article should be considered correct, perhaps we should have the letters we sign for participating updated with the appropriate provisos? Regards, -- Cesar Rabak

Why? If you got hired by asshole, who thinks that he owns all of your free time, then my advice - just quit. Changing the letters, you sign, won't turn an asshole into a nice guy :)

Wow. The stuff in there about California law is simply false. See the California labor code, sections 2870-2872 (e.g., at [1]). -C [1] http://law.justia.com/codes/california/2009/lab/2870-2872.html -- Craig Latta www.netjam.org/resume +31 06 2757 7177 + 1 415 287 3547
Craig, IANALÂ but the reading of the section 2897 (1) and (2) seem to me exactly the cases the site is bringing on, and being so harder to discern in cases of SW development than other 'hard' stuff, like say kid toy inventions versus working in a factory that builds industrial furnaces. -- Cesar Rabak Em 25/03/2011 06:00, Craig Latta < craig@netjam.org > escreveu: Wow.
