Titles are a bit inflated in small companies, so "head of software development" meant I was the team leader of a team of 7 developers including myself. But yeah, they really thought they knew so much more about open source and open source developers than me.
Even if you'd said you were "just" a software developer, not even a head of a small team of developers, I'd still work on the assumption that you know more about software development than a CEO and a marketing person. Relevant professional experience gives you much more credibility than they had. :)
