Found some nice comments on the The Meta: Abused Trust?
article. I am an apprentice here on Advogato, but as ZachGarner points out, there
is no real apprentiship on Advogato. I guess it wasn't
raph's intentions to provide one in the first place, but it
would be nice to see one. The idea of subcommunitys with
group discussions, information sharing with the compulsary
links collection on Advogato also sounds nice, although a
good mailing list just might do the trick. The real trick is
however to find your way into such a "subcommunity". The
bulletproof way is revealed by
ncm further down
"Showing code" is all it takes to vault
straight to the top.
Perhaps it takes a little more effort than
that, but it will give you a good jump start. A proof to
people will get them interested. Then they might be willing
to guide you all the way to the top. And when you are
finally there. Look down and pick up some more people.
But anyway, who am I to tell. I haven't revealed
anything
yet. Hello! Can you see me down here, I'm the little
green thing running around in circles? ;-)
