Well, today is a happy day. I meet with Wolfgang Spraul last evening, the first real person that play with Linux and Open Source. I asked my confuse about the format and organization
of Linux world, He said:" You always saw Linux elsewhere, but you are the Linux, Linux is every individual". It's encourage me very much.
I said that I'm just the listener of the mail-list, never being an active guy like others, and he said this is the problem of most of Chinese software engineer, even they are very good at skill, but they never step out, and do something, they are waiting for some one else to ask passive. I think he is right, I have same problem, but the core of this problem is NOT who you are, but the how you do it. The rule in the Open Source world is you take a semi-finished things, show to others, and then ask them help, clear about you request, so the others can understand what help can they offer, and finish it together.
Another problem of Chinese software engineer is language, the Open Source world is a English world, and communicate with mail-list/IRC/IM, all these way is in English, for example, He is a German,but he still have to learn & speak English(I heard that English is too simple to German). The most of people use mail-list, but wirte a clear mail is a challenge.
Anyway, I decide to conquer and learn my English well. So I practice my English here.
