Description: For forty years, the free software movement has been driven by a passionate community of hackers who care deeply about user freedom and privacy. Meanwhile, the strategies and tools that other software communities use to organize, promote, and execute projects has changed significantly.
In this talk, we will discuss how to cultivate a welcoming community that attracts a new generation of passionate users, contributors, and maintainers to free software projects. I will take inspiration from other successful projects to illustrate a human-centered process that streamlines contributions, strengthens maintainership, and creates a feeling of shared ownership for all users.
