Egoboo in the Open Source Programming Movement

The term later spread into the open source programming movement, where the concept of non-monetary reward from community response is a key motive for many of the participants.

How do we know that ego boost is a key motive for many of the participants? Have any poles been done to confirm this? Someone cite some evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.173.174.202 (talk) 03:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the people on Wikipedia edit just for the egoboo. Like Me =)OVERTWITCH~Your Favourite Nerdy, Glasses Wearing, Hyperactive, little Asian

Earlier citations online

The first print citation available electronically is Bob Tucker's 1954 Neo-Fan's Guide

An earlier one online is from Lee Hoffman's December 1950 fanzine Quandry #5, page 12: [1]. The word is also used on page 2 of the issue, but page 12 is a better example. Possibly a diligent search could turn up online versions of earlier usages in fanzines. Beamjockey (talk) 02:17, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
