Due to the amount of bugs in several GNU/Linux projects such as GNOME or Fedora, good volunteers and new contributors are crucial to fix them and make the projects better.
I emphasized the phrase good volunteers and new good contributors because is not only to have a positive willing to do things here.
Many other factors besides the knowledge of the project are fundamental, like interaction, usability, English skills, GNOME style in programming and following the pattern of designing.
In my local community I have encountered many pros and cons during almost six years of promoting the Fedora and GNOME projects in universities and social events. During my talk I will share those different experiences and the vulnerabilities and improvements I faced in the way.
