      <description><![CDATA[<p>
If you're into Open Source software (doesn't matter if you're new to it or an old hand), you'd do well to check out <a href="http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/open_advice/">the book Henri Bergius has posted about</a> - that he also contributed to - "Open Advice - FOSS: What We Wish We Had Known When We Started".
</p>
<p>
As quoted from the <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/481222/">LWN review</a> of the book:
</p>
<blockquote>
Open Advice is a book that will be helpful to those who are new to FOSS, but, because of the individual voices, styles, and tones, it doesn't read like a "how to". It could even be recommended to those who aren't necessarily interested in contributing, but are curious about what this "free software thing" is all about.
</blockquote>
<p>
It contains real experience from real developers that work on FOSS projects with chapters titled:
</p>
<ul>
<li>"Code First"
<li>"University and Community"
<li>"Love the Unknown"
<li>"Quality Assurance"
<li>"Good Manners Matter"
<li>"Stop Worrying and Love the Crowd"
</ul>
<p>
