Being open, publicly, buys us a lot. It keeps our heads in the correct, accurate context. It helps us interact with the community. It helps us attract members. It helps us dispel the myths, prejudices, and FUD that come part and parcel with the term 'hacker'[1]. Anyone that spends half-an-hour on the Internet can get an accurate picture of who we are and what we're about, which is great marketing[2]. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen^wopenness would be it[3]. [1] Not to mention the fact that we're all a bit weird.
