#269 [Talk-50] Leading and Growing an Open Source Community
Closed: Talk Scheduled 3 years ago by riecatnor. Opened 3 years ago by sayaksarkar.

1. What is your proposal?

During this session, I would be presenting a talk on how existing contributors to an open-source community who might be in a leadership position can contribute towards leading and growing the community in an effective way.

During this talk, I would be presenting a slide deck that we have been developing as part of the Open Source Enablement community of practice at Red Hat based upon the experience and insights of multiple people with extensive experience and knowledge of Open Source Communities and their growth dynamics.

At the conclusion of this experience, participants will be able to:

  • Describe key differences between community participation and community leadership

  • Recognize challenges that new community leaders can face

  • Identify strategies for both increasing and sustaining community participation

  • Understand how to measure the success of community involvement and how to communicate that success to others

2. Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the virtual room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

Only the speaker and the audience. This presentation targets an audience of advanced practitioners - learners who are already contributing to an open-source community in a leadership position and want to be able to lead and grow the community more effectively.

These learners may be asking questions like:

  • How can I ensure sustainable growth for the community?
  • How can I help to maintain good community health?
  • How to spread the word about the community?
  • What type of leadership structure needs to be in place for the community?

This presentation is best for audiences who want to develop a "long term vision" for their open source community but might not know how to begin.

3. Is this a…

50 minute Talk

4. Anything else we need to know?

No.

5. Who are you?

@riecatnor Thanks for the acceptance confirmation! The schedule looks good to me. :-)

Also, can you please let me know what would be the steps to present the talk during the day of the session?

Hi! Nest with Fedora is beginning shortly. I want to thank you for speaking at this years contributor conference, your time and effort is appreciated :)

I have outlined the basic process for speakers below. If you have questions, feel free to drop them here and I will do my best to answer them before the event begins.

How to get to your session:
Enter the event
Go to Sessions tab on the left at the correct time
Click your session
Accept permissions for audio/video
You're in!

Sessions are set up as moderated by the speakers. There is a maximum of 10 people on screen at once, though people can leave the screen and different attendees can request permission to join. The speaker(moderator) will have a moderation panel on the bottom left hand side to allow or deny the request. If you feel you need someone besides yourself to help with moderation, please make sure they are registered for the event and provide their full name here. Anyone can watch and participate in the chat. Sessions will be recorded.

To share slides, there is an option at the bottom to share your screen, where you can choose the window/tab to share. To share a video with audio, you can share your screen and play the audio on loud speaker (so your mic picks it up). Screen sharing works just as other video conferencing tools (like Google Meet, Bluejeans etc).

If you have technical issues during your session, contact one of the attendees labelled "Organiser" or myself, Marie Nordin, through the platforms direct message function.

Cheers!
