Open source in OR: Q&A with Pyomo and HiGHS

The operations research and decision science space has a diverse portfolio of open source projects, including Pyomo and HiGHS. Recently, new momentum is building around project adoption in research and industry contexts and ways to contribute and support to these communities. How are these projects being used in the wild? What’s changed since their initial releases? How should the community think about adoption and participation?
