Couchio is on tumblr now, and Damien sums up some thoughts on building an Open Source Company.
People are hired based on contributions to open source. Code, documentation, advocacy, community help, legal help, etc. People who work to make the world better for everyone through open source are the people we hire.
[…]
We don’t want people who tend to ask “How can I contribute? What should I do?”. We want people who identify for themselves what needs to be done and how they can contribute, and then do it. Our employees want to contribute to make things better, not for a paycheck, not for validation from a manager or even the community. They do it because they think it will make things better.
Really, you should read the whole text. Man, I’m so excited to work with these guys.
