Hi folks, I'd like to discuss something ... something I have been noticining in the last year or so.
We're a cool bunch of people, doing awesome stuff. However momentum in the project has sort of slowed down quite a bit. I know we have some great new initiatives going on, but let's say it's become a bit quiet around the folks which have been involved for a longer time period. I would like to get more people involved and active in the project. Therefore I would like to strart posting low-hanging fruit here on the list. In the past when I did so, the community was quite fast in raising hands and volunteering to do things. However volunteering is one thing, actually doing seems to be something else. In my impression we could improve on the delivering side. I know we are a volunteer driven community and you are therefore contributing voluntarily in your free time or in the time your company is paying you. But ... keep in mind: * If you volunteer to do something, probably others will not raise a hand to also contribute. If you now don't deliver what you signed up for, the others won't either. * If you volunteer to do something, I will think that this base is covered and not jump in (I don't want to interfere in every initiative, but I am happy and willing to help if help is needed) So could you please do me a favour? If I start posting some low-hanging fruit in the near future, please consider if you will also have the time to actually do so, before signing up? Chris
