Most people will naturally follow you
Others will envy and hate you
Dos and Don'ts
1: Protect and Serve
You are here to serve your community
2: be Transparent by Default
Why keep stuff secret?
Before hiding, ask yourself:
Is the community better without it?
If there is no clear answer, publish it!3: Do Not Waste Time
Before you do anything, ask yourself:
How is this benefiting my community?
If you can't really answer, don't do it!
4: Increase Participation
Do stuff
Do more stuff
Do stuff more often
Ask the community
5: ask for Volunteers
Just ask for help!
We are all volunteers here
Empower your collaborators:
Doers decide how to do things
Don't forget to thank them afterwards!
6. Value Ideas
When evaluating an idea,
disregard where it comes from

Agamenón. – Conforme.
Su porquero. – No me convence.
