[olug] 10 ways to pay back the open source community

[VHP3]

I tend to agree with #8, share thy wisdom.  Mainly, in
'spreading the word'.  There are droves of people out
there who don't even know the Open Source community
exists and are stuck purchasing expensive software for
free when suitible open source solutions exist.  Case
in point, my girlfriend, far from the techno-dweeb
that I am, but she needed an office suite to write a
paper and couldn't afford M$ Office.  So, being the
nice guy that I am steered her in the direction of
Open Office, which she loves.  She then spread the
word to a couple of roommates who use it also.

My $.02...
