Hari Om, One basic rule in churches is that 5% of the people do 95% of the work (I know, in some ways I helped set up a Hindu Temple). I think the same rule would apply to any volunteer organization. That also means the more you put into it the more you get out of it and that's why organizations survive long term - people are stronger as groups than as individuals. I'm reading a book about the growth of the cult of Mithra in the Roman empire and all the same rules applied at that time. ** I couldn't give the talk but for the future I was wondering about a discussion about people using non-standard operating systems for daily use and how they deal with the paucity of information. For example; I have one system in Ubuntu 14.04, another in Mint 17.3 Rosa which have a wealth of support and information and are user friendly. I also have a system in PC-BSD and would like to set up a system in Open BSD (I'm reading Absolute OpenBSD by Michael Lucas) neither is very user friendly but I'm attracted to the power, security and stability (in my mind) those systems offer.
Anyway, it was just a thought.
