It's a good book, especially for community leaders. In fact, if you like the book you might want to join Jono and about 200 other community leaders for the Community Leadership Summit. This free un-conference runs every year the weekend prior to OSCON. I attended for the first time last year and really enjoyed myself.

Thanks, Jeff - between the Community Leadership Summit, OSCON and Open Source Bridge, I may as well move to Portland. Oh well, there's always Portlandia. Yes, the Community Leaders Summit looks like a good conference. Thanks.
And, thanks for inspiring me to take a second look at this book. I just picked it up again and read "The Building Blocks of Building Buzz", which I find to be the greatest reward of being part of an online community. People love to contribute when they feel comfortable enough to actually engage. Do you find yourself agreeing with Jono's approaches in this book and sometimes saying "Hey, I do that when I build communities"? -
Happy 10th year, JCertif!
