Engaging in conversatins on public forums and communication channels can be hard, especially if you are new to the open source ecosystem. Why would you talk to someone on the public mailing list about a specific topic, when you can reach out to the person directly? How to phrase a message that anyone in the world can read? How can a community help establish contributors and newcomers to navigate the various communication channels in an open, welcoming and efficient way?

In this MOSE Short segment, Jim Hall and Phil Robb talk about the communication challenges within open source communities, and Jim shares the principles that the FreeDOS community has been following for 30 years and counting.
