I hope there are big Finnish saunas in Edinburgh. I think we all need to gather for a hot sauna next DebConf. We should change this "you can't flame people you have had sauna with" to "you can't flame me until you've had sauna with me" :) > Most of us are nice people with just strong feelings about their > ideas, but I guess it might be nice for all of us to learn how to > empathyse and respect other's ideas, and think for a moment that other > people might also good reasons for them, as not everything is black or > white. What I do as an exercise in order to improve the skills you mention, empathy, respect, the feel of pleasure from working with others, is to work with the people I sponsor. They provide manpower and skills I lack, they fix bugs I have no time to look at, while I learn from them as they learn from me. I make mistakes they forgive me for, they make mistakes I can help them fix. It is something I encourage you all to do. Take a sponsoree and be his/her mentor. It's good for the karma. -- ยท''`.
