It seems to me that the author of this piece has a lot of "misconceptions about Open Source" himself.
An example: "anyone can contribute, regardless of background or proficiency".
I'd encourage the author to research how open source projects are run before making claims like this.
Also.. How was this bug found again? Oh yeah. By analyzing the _open_ source code.
Professionalism is orthogonal to open source vs. closed source. There's a place for both, and there is good and bad open source and closed source software.

Moving right along nothing to see here.
It was found by fuzzing. OpenSSL being open has absolutely nothing to do with its security, in a positive or negative way. It's just a poor project.
