How to fish for new contributors

I just started reading Andrew Lee Rubinger’s blog, or maybe he just began blogging? Not sure, but he has a polished, funny, irreverent, and clean writing style. In particular, I appreciate his thematic connections between other parts of life and the funny pool of sweat, blood, and tears that is open source software. Write on!

(He’s also a JBoss guy working on the Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 3.0 project.)

    If I were going to make asinine statements, I’d sign a fake name too.

    Hardly a conclusive argument, but substantial in illustrating relative interest level:

    Until you back up this claim with some evidence, I call your FUD.

    PS - Apologies if your name is really “Boo”. Like “Ridley”, “Berry”, or any rapper’s girlfriend.
