So, It would be a great idea to put FOSS experience as a separate
subsection
under Experience in one's resume.

Or would you suggest some other means of
bringing FOSS experience to the notice (and bring prominence to) during the
hiring
process.

That would make the job of a person looking for FOSS experience much easier
!
One wouldn't want to miss a chance of getting a job where the hiring process
is
of the third kind (as mentioned above)
