Dealing With Difficult Community Members (Interview on Late Night Linux)

This is something I was asked about on a recent interview on the Late Night Linux podcast. We dug into this and also discussed how to build communities in different environments, whether communities can work for proprietary platforms/devices, and how unique the open source world is within the wider context of communities.

It was a fun interview and well worth a listen.
