This book is divided into eleven separate sections based on topic, in which I talk about a set of specific Open Source items, questions or concerns.

- Start. Some words and advice about getting started with Open Source.
- People. I have learned something about working with humans after a while.
- Project. Lessons and insights about project specific things.
- Money. Conclusions about the monetary side of Open Source.
- Source. The code is certainly key in a project and there are clues for us there.
- Security. A really important area that we must never ignore.
- Maintainer. What is it and what does it take to be a project maintainer?
- Evolution. Let me take you on a little journey and show how Open Source has developed.
- Life. Can you be a successful Open Source maintainer and have a life at the same time?
- Emails. A collection of "interesting" questions and feedback that I received over the years.
