Ten Ways to Get Involved with the Pattern Community

In This Chapter

  • Writing — and writing about — patterns
  • Mentoring newcomers
  • Taking advantage of pattern-community resources
  • Starting your own pattern-related groups

I used these techniques when I was just getting started with patterns. I hope that they'll help you as much as they helped me.
