Cool, guess I can tell my bosses that because our projects are open source I don't have to meet deadlines or work on uninteresting bugs.
You clearly have never worked on an open source project for a company. Please try to actually have experience with something before you comment on it.
Source: I work full time developing open source software. Last year I worked heavily on a
project to compute clinical quality measure for the Veterans Health Administration. It uses the same computation engine as the verification tool for Meaningful Use Stage 2, a tool named
Cypress, also developed as open source software. I'm currently working on tools to
validate FHIR servers and to build a
tool for patient risk management for doctors assessing geriatric patients. All of these have deadlines and the "boring bugs" get fixed.
