Pick people already doing the work
Quote
my dad said a long time ago he was a deacon in the church and he was saying that when you're looking around for people to be deacons. What you do is you you look for the people who are already doing the work of the deacon. And those are the people you nominate to be a deacon.

Summary
His dad, a church deacon, taught that you choose deacons from people already doing a deacon's work. Dave applies it to passion projects: the best contributors were doing it before any reward existed.
