This one is a good point, as our customers would then yell / sue / no longer come to us as we can't deliver our product..

I'd ask them "What do you think happens to an OSS project when people stop developing it?" The answer is obvious to all of us, but they apparently need it spelled out. Nothing, it's still available and can continue on as if nothing happened.

@travisdh1 yeah I'm trying to avoid being the dick, as the people I'm having to convey this information too more or less ensure I have a paycheck.
But, yes that is accurate.

And you'd be on the hook for decisions that didn't account for continuity.

How is that helpful? I'm the technical lead on the project, so looking for ways to get people to understand the benefits not the perceived(made up) risks of OSS.

How much of the lead are you if you aren't making the decisions? It's helpful because you should not care more than the actual decision makers do.

If you were, would we be having this conversation?

@scottalanmiller I don't understand the question. Of course, because businesses are teams of people. On which everyone has to provide buy in.

So, they've given you the car to drive, but given you no input on what vehicle to get. Sounds great till you end up with a Prius to haul cargo, or a tractor tailor to transport people.

No. Normally business has someone in charge. Not run by committee.

Get the PM involved. Have him identify your pigs and chickens.

I hope you mean who are the pigs and who are the butchers..

OBS is pretty much the industry standard. If you want, you could take its code and BE the official support for it. If your company does not want to do that, you could do it yourself. Or hire any third party to do that.
