One interesting moment occurred while speaking to attendee, Randall Hinkley. Hinkley said he had only been using Fedora for about four months. He was from an area near Tempe and while researching setting up his own Fedora sever found the information about FUDCon on the internet and then decided to register and see what it was all about. When I attend events such as FUDCon, it is always encouraging and exciting to see those faces who are new to open source, new to a project, and or new to contribution when they finally meet the people with whom they interact with in an IRC channel or mailing list. While there are some exceptions for the most part these attendees already have a spark in the eye and a hunger for more knowledge about the project, but upon attending events and conferences like a FUDCon find themselves thirsting for ways to contribute as well and Hinkley was no different. He was excited to be there and his personal participation and contribution began to open as he spoke to the various Fedora leaders and community

members throughout the event. He wasn’t the only one attending FUDCon for the first time; however, he was the only one I spoke to who was 1) New to the project, 2) Stumbled upon the FUDCon information “accidentally” and 3) Was not already contributing but decided to attend to see what it was all about."

I have tremendous respect for the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora project, for example, which published a book on open source community development and methodologies called "The Open Source Way." It's an excellent blueprint for developing open source communities. I hope that we can
