Xen comes to mind. I think we’re pretty close to the model of Intel or Red Hat’s contribution to the Linux kernel: Zmanda pays folks (like me!) to develop open source software.

Often, the engineer role is filled by an outside developer, consultant, or firm. Too many systems have been delivered over the years, to the underwhelming response, "Well, it's good, but that's not what I had in mind." Sometimes that vision is held by the executive director. Defining the different roles helps avoid this.
