The Linux world is a big, scary place. Or, arguably, it's a small, insular and still scary place. But it's still made up of people, and most of these people bear a decent resemblance to the ones that people deal with in the real world. This presentation discusses learning the issues involved in becoming involved with a community of the single-minded, but focuses on how to behave once you're a member of that community. Issues covered include:How to get involved in the first placeWhy are all these people so obnoxious all the timeHow to avoid being accidentally obnoxiousWhy the community's worst enemy is itselfThis presentation will consist of examples of people doing it wrong. Every effort will be made to avoid it being an example of someone doing it wrong.
