A QA/BugTriage community or lack thereof is a situation for a large
number of FOSS Projects. Which is kind of strange since it provides a
relatively practical means to learn about the internals as well as earn
developer respect. Perhaps projects along the line of GHOP (not that
specifically, but like that) which allow putting such building blocks of
knowledge as means to contribute would help. Presentations/workshops
specifically don't - Rahul / mether has been doing them on and off but
without much uptake
