Great read Ginny! I'm in that exact same situation you describe: I pursue open source project, and have been contributing for over 10 years now. During the day, I work in IT, at companies that hardly apply the open source way, through collaboration, sharing etc.
It's not necessarily bad, for a company to operate, more on a conservative model. But for me, being that active in open source, knowing it can be done differently with so many advantages, it's sometimes 'hard'. That's why I think I'm 'spoiled' by Open Source.
Knowing the difference, what is possible through the open source way, sure made me more aware of what I seek for at jobs and employers.
I downloaded the report, will be reading it, and possible forwarding it to the information manager (CIO) at work.
