A handbook for the open source way, written the open source way

“Remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer had the idea to make
a coffee table book about coffee tables? I always thought that was
a pretty elegant idea. Well, a few months ago, some of the smart
folks on Red Hat’s community architecture team had a similarly
elegant idea:

“Write a book about building community the open source way…
and write it with a community, the open source way. Meaning, open
the text up, allow interested users to contribute, and see what
happens.

“Brilliant.

“The book is entitled The Open Source Way: Creating and
nurturing communities of contributors and you can access the
current text here and the wiki for contributors here. I caught up
with Karsten Wade, who is leading the project, to learn more.”
