Hi everyone, there popped up an interview with Linus and one question was how to successfully run an open source project and build a sustainable community. The answer boils down to "being responsive", i.e. answer mails/review requests/... quickly.
You can watch the video yourself: https://video.golem.de/oss/21810/linus-torvalds-im-gespraech-mit-dirk-hohndel.html The relevant part starts at around minute 20. Of course, you can also watch the entire thing ;) I thought that might be interesting in the context of welcoming new contributors - being responsive is a key to keeping them with the project, until they are so good such that they can start maintaining parts themselves. Probably not a new thing, but maybe it helps to hear it from Linus ;) Greetings Dominik
