Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols's blog — ... miles to see them in person? The answer, by the way, is a lot. Social networking, e-mail lists, blogging are all well and gone, but they don't replace actually meeting with someone.

When you're someone, you can get a much better feel for who they really are and what they're really thinking. So, I think smaller and more focused tradeshows, like Interop , SCALE ( Souther Calif. Linux Expo ) and, I hope, the forthcoming OpenSource World , which I have a ...

Bacon says that community -- and building a sense of belonging -- are crucial to growing and maintaining any open source project. No doubt this is due to the heavy element of voluntary participation in the open source world, but the ...
