Stormy guided our organization (at HP) through the process of understanding whether to use Open Source code within our products, and whether to put some of our tools into Open Source. She was great at explaining things to people with various levels of understanding. Stormy helped us reason-through our decision-making process, because we had conflicting goals from changing high-level managers. She was very professional and enjoyable to work with.
