Havoc Pennington makes a similar point in his essay "Working on Free Software" (http://ometer.com/hacking.html):

"Eric Raymond's thoughts on this topic are here; his HOWTO describes how to join "hacker culture." The culture isn't really necessary to participate in free software projects though, IMO. As long as you follow the community way-of-working you don't have to get into the social aspects (unless you'd like to)."
