[talk] Community Anti-Patterns

Excellent talk by Dave Neary

developing software in the open (source environment)

Session Summary:

It may be hard to identify the magic that goes into a successful free software community project, but it is easy to identify patterns in unsuccessful community-building efforts. I present a humorous look at the most common and egregious anti-patterns observed over the years in online communities, and propose counter-measures which can be used to combat their onset.

anti-patterns: Cookie-Licker, Help Vampire, RTFM, Headless Chicken, Water Cooler, Blackhole, Broken Window, Community as emotional places

There is only one way to understand SCRUM: learn from the best.

You can start right here by watching this Google Techtalk about SCRUM held by Ken Schwaber.
Do it!
