Abstract

This is a presentation of the Linux Documentation Project's Free Software Project Management HOWTO (Software-Proj-Mgmt): a document which acts as a guide to the non-technical aspects of free software project management and was written to be a crash course in the people skills that aren't taught to commercial coders but that can make or break a free software project.
