About the book
This book guides its readers through the theory and practice of helping a community (with a focus on open source software communities) to achieve its goals. This advice is distilled from Jono Bacon's personal experiences with founding and building the LugRadio podcast / community / live events, the Jokosher audio editor project, and of course his current role as the Ubuntu Community Manager, with plenty of personal anecdotes that provide the rationale for his suggestions.
