Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Article on building community on FOSS projects

Hi Marc,
For you with that interest I can warmly recommend the book "The Art of
Community: Building the New Age of Participation" by Jono Bacon:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Community-Building-Participation/dp/1449312063/

Cheers,
Leif
