I was browsing Google's inner areas, and they had this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFDm3UYkeE) (~1hr) featured on their site, where two dev's from Subversion (and other projects) discuss how to create a healthy Open Source project group.
The talk is actually more broad-spectrum, relating to group dynamics in general, from open source programming to just participating in a forum.
I really like the "bus" factor they talk about (how many people in your project would have to be hit by a bus for you to be totally screwed...LOL!)
Folks working in group projects (which is almost every job offered in the world) would probably get a kick out of this.
EDIT: fixed the link
