IMHO nearly correct, but not quite so: A lot of our volunteers spend a lot of time here at Apache. Leaving some bread crumps on the topic here maybe helps people realise what going on with themselves (or with their fellow volunteers) just a little bit earlier. > Volunteerism and especially volunteer burn out are definite issues.

I guess my idea is influenced by us already having some material, by hackers e.g. at CCC as well as amongst ourselves being relatively open about the topic. Also at least here in Berlin Startup founders are starting to talk about the topic at meetups. > Some Advice about Volunteering: +1 to all of your points below.
