Open Source Developer [closed]

Question

Hiring managers keep saying they want "open-source expertise". What do they mean? Do they want someone who contributes to open source projects (i.e. Spring, Hibernate, MySQL etc.) Or someone who implements those technologies into systems? In all likelihood they want both, but is it okay if to say I have "open-source expertise" if I've implemented open-source technologies into a project?

Answer 1

You need to ask the specific hiring manager what they mean. Each one has their own interpretation.
