Abstract: Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.

Highly recommended - especially, the question time towards the end.
Also, really enjoyed the suggested methods of project disinfection.
