I was brought attention to this via Necropsy on #myoss.
The main thing is, it doesn’t apply just to projects. It applies to communities as well.
Its a good video and I notice the same problems in the MyOSS community as well.
Abstract:
Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and … all » disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.
So guys…“Patches weclome”
