Yesterday at #OSSummit I realized I'm still struggling with this question:

What is a clear "organizational contribution" to #OpenSource?

Cash or in-kind gifts are easy to understand. Things that people do, much murkier.

An organization is an attribute of a contributor, who may have affiliations with multiple orgs.

How can a #FreeSoftware project clearly understand "from which org" any given code (or non-code) contribution is really coming from?

Human brains are not that compartmentalized.
