I've now posted my interview with Symbian Contributing Community Manager Lars Kurth. I met him at OSCON, and then followed up with some specific questions for him.
One nice quote: "Becoming a 'rock star' in our community is about what individuals do for the community and whether they build their own communities around them."
Here's the full interview:

Lars is yet another smart, interesting character in this industry. Whenever I get depressed about the state of the world (which is often), I remember all the great and dedicated people in the IT industry worldwide, and I cheer up a bit.
Hope this interview provides a little cheer for you!
