Power of Open Source Community Aspect

A kid named Spencer Davis contributed some feedback on Apache Axis2/C documentation. He is now going to compose a FAQ for Apache Axis2/C, the second task that he is going to work as part of his GHOP involvement.

First of all, I am personally delighted that he chose to work on some of the tasks that I proposed and that he has already completed one successfully. More importantly, I am excited that he is engaging the open source community and interacting with the community. I am sure, he is learning form the open source project and the community aspect. The project too benefits form his contributions. So it is a mutual benefit. The fact that it was an open community and that this student could join and contribute shows the beauty of open source.

Thanks to Google who connected students with open source communities.
