HOW: (continued)

Help out

• You are the face of Linux

• Don't let your own limits spook you

• Find answers

• HOWTOs, searches

Look for the "small win"

• Fix the "known problem"

• Fix the "unknown problem"

Understand your audience

• They may not understand the value of stability and flexibility

Understand the claim of "no support"

• What is often lacking is support of the manager, not the project

• Understand the "powerplay" of support

• Homework: Business cards
