Working on Fedora. Fun?
No, it’s not always fun. And it’s not always going to be fun.
It must, however, always be rewarding. Because if it’s not, people won’t do it anymore. Simple.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Amen brother.
The second part is finding a few good ways to make it rewarding. The first thing we can (and must) do is to make people *feel* their work is worthy, appreciated: saying a “thank you” at the right time can do wonders.
Interesting, now I understand my lack of motivation all of a sudden. Thanks!
