So much "yes". Receiving feed-back, encouragement, affirmation that the work is valued, is a REALLY big thing. I do this because I'm paid, but also because I enjoy the challenge and I value the community involvement. A colleague in SUSE recently forwarded a line from an IRC conversation that he was part of where someone commended me on my work on Lustre. It was really nice to receive that (though maybe a shame that it didn't come more directly). Who-ever said that - thanks! You don't have to be writing patches to be supporting this work.
