In that view, you should all be thinking about ways to grow, foster and teach the next generation how to engage, work and successfully develop and contribute to the communities you participate in - Node.js and others. I see a lot of effort all over this project with people investing time and energy in this direction - which is extremely encouraging and hopefully welcoming to new participants and contributors. Students are the next generation and the developers leading projects today will be development managers (or higher) eventually and they’ll be asked to hire energetic university hires under them who know the codebase. It’s a supporting cycle that’s important for everyone involved and the health of a project that will last a decade or more. The same thing has been true for Linux for a long time. Projects that don’t, well they tend to lose touch with new approaches, techniques, etc. as well and adoption slows and eventually wanes as talented hires are deployed to other, more leading edge alternatives.\n\nHopefully that explanation is short enough to not fall into the TLDR category :-)\n\n\n> On Jun 2, 2015, at 5:32 PM, &!
