Watching a vcluster talk at #fossy - lots of talk about "the syncer" (the thing that syncs). Is it just me, or is it a missed opportunity not calling the syncer "Iceberg"?
Justin Flory and Elizabeth Barron win #FOSSY for including a Cicero quote defining freedom as participation in power in their talk on onboarding newcomers into @fedora 😍
Celebrating @outreachy this morning for having now provided more than 1,000 paid open source internships for underrepresented people 🥳
Grateful to @gnome and @conservancy for their role in backing this important program, and to @sphakos, @karen, and @anna for their work driving it, and to Marina Zhurakhinskaya for the legacy she has left by founding it ❤️ #FOSSY
A rare shout out to Google from the stage at #FOSSY, for having supported @outreachy from the very beginning and never stopping.
For all the companies who are fair weather friends, the team behind Google Summer of Code remain steadfast supporters.
It was an honor to be a PgM for #GSoC for a few years and come to understand the scope of the impact that team has made in FOSS. Special shout out from me to Cat Allman and Stephanie Taylor for all their work behind the scenes 💖#OpenSource
It's not a heist film (okay, maybe it's a heist film) - it's a talk on helping the maintainers in your open source life! It's the last talk of the Community: Open Source in Practice track by @Schneems -- what a way to close out our two days at #FOSSY 🏦
@strypey I don't have a good summary to offer right now, but there were definitely a range of suggestions for making "non-technical" contributions visible. Here's one that isn't necessarily the best place to start but that I'm currently especially intrigued by: Write up some profiles of individual collaborators, perhaps as occasional blog posts, describing some of the kinds of contributions they make and highlighting that those are things we value. I hope people check out the recordings of the talks from the #FOSSY community tracks, once those are up, and dig into the rest of the methods that people proposed too.
@jamey@strypey One large problem is that sometimes invisible contributors work in a way that does not profit from the type of online visibility developers enjoy. #fossy
