Shamans and Canaries

According to wikipedia, canaries were used "coal miners [...] brought canaries into coal mines as an early-warning signal for toxic gases", while a shaman is a "person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits". With the LibreOffice community growing, we will need to have both to keep all parts of the project accessible to newcomers and members from elsewhere in the project.

7. 7 LibreOffice Berlin 2012 Conference Presentation Template Shamans and Canaries Canaries will rotate through all subprojects Rotate to a new one every 2 month No need to contribute to the subproject Just be curious and find out how stuff work elsewhere. Shamans will guide the Canaries … thats it well (to be honest, they would have done that even without being tagged as “Shamans” – this is just to make sure that the Canaries – that is you – are not shy about asking.)
8. 8 LibreOffice Berlin 2012 Conference Presentation Template One more Thing (You knew this would have a catch, right?) It would be lovely, if canaries would post unfiltered about their experiences – that is one blogpost every other month.
