Bryce wrote up a great blog post about how to compete with others in working in and around the free desktop. He wrote a memorable paragraph:
No, the key to success with FLOSS is its core attribute - it’s openness to community-scale collaboration. Focus on energizing a strong community and empowering new users to bring their new ideas and energy in. Give them lots of room to experiment, and assist them with paving a good foundation for them to build atop. Give them invitations rather than rules, and infrastructure rather than bureaucracy. Make it easier for people with little technical skill to participate, and treat them as first class citizens when they do.
