Changes

Another quote he was promoting was, “trust the community.” Anyone who want to be a part of the community he/she should have faith in the community and community members. Newcomers should believe in the seniors and try to walk on seniors’ path to success. Similarly, seniors should not misguide newcomers in the community. It is a both side responsibility for newcomers and seniors. If everybody trusts everybody in the community, the community will become a great place for success and growth.

It is very hard to conclude and compare two great talks in a paragraph. Still let me just give a try:

Both spokespersons were masters in their fields. Dan is master in Thunderbird community while Greg is master in Linux community. Now it seems obvious that Dan’s talk would be more focused on Thunderbird community. However, Greg’s talk was not specific to Linux community. It was in general for whole open source community. Dan’s talk was more about responsibilities for a member of the community; what a member should do and what he should not do to make community and the product better. But, Greg was more focusing on what a community can do and should do to make contributors happier and more satisfied. Though both were targeting different part of the open source world, they both were aiming to make the community utopia.
