Abstract
This had not really been one of my tenets until I began writing this book and especially the part about the contest I created for Opensource.com. It struck me as I was writing that section that I had already used the phrase, “There is no should,” more than once. I even discussed it briefly way back in Chapter 2, so I started thinking about this in a new way and decided that it really should be a tenet.
