A official-looking certificate might still be nice, at least according to the following talk given at LGM 2010 last year: http://river-valley.tv/how-to-get-contributors-to-your-freelibreopen-source-project-from-vietnam-and-asia/ She explains that in some countries/cultures it's important to have something to show to your family, as they are paying for your studies and want to know why you are working without getting anything in return, either money (a paid job) or certificates (e.g. a school, or an open source project). -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
