Volunteers are more likely to join a community that is obviously active and contributing useful things back to the community. One of our most successful and surprising activities has been the development and teaching of free on-line courses on everything from kernel development to understanding file systems.6 As a group, we have produced large amounts of documentation, all freely available on-line. We host a list for job postings, open to anyone to post or subscribe to.7 LinuxChix often receives freebies from various organizations which we pass on to our members. Most importantly, we encourage friendships and networking with mailing lists and IRC channels specifically for conversation not directly related to the goals of our organization.
