The reason that many recruiters ask if you contribute to open-source projects is because it shows you have a passion for software development, because you work on it in your spare time even if you are not being paid to do it. Therefore an employer is more likely to choose you rather than someone who just does it for a job.

Out of interest, why are you recommending users to move away from GnuTLS when your article states that this bug has been fixed?
