Well, concerning to open source and free software (taking advantage of an expression said by ESR in the Cathedral and the Bazaar [1](: "every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch." It doesn't matter if it is an alternative to Microsoft Word, a driver for an obscure wifi card or a fps game, people usually get involved in open source not out of the goodness of their hearts but because they are passionate by the end result of their work, software development being only a mean to an end. So get the word out about the specific problem you are trying to solve with open source. If there are other people out there with the same problem and the technical skill to help they most certainly are going to find out about your effort and try to help.
