a worthwhile ongoing struggle

• make sacrifices of small conveniences to use and help promote open source
• volunteer your awesome people skills to help organise a conference, manage a user group or provide tutorials
• give constructive and useful feedback to open source projects
• keep using, recognizing and giving thanks to the open source software that you use
• don't expect more than you're willing to give and be thankful when it exceeds your expectations
