Presentation
Welcoming Diversity and Disagreement in Your Open Source Project
DescriptionHPC is built on open source, and often new technologies are shared under open source licenses, but building and managing a community around an open source project isn't easy. Often, the skills that are needed for engaging with users of a project are completely different from the skills that were needed to create the project in the first place.
While study after study proves the importance of having a diversity of participation and thought for success, opening your project up to disagreement and discussion can be challenging and intimidating. Intentionally opening the door to disagreement can feel like a bad idea.
This talk will help you understand if diversity is right for your project, and then help you set your project up to let diversity in with a minimum of trolls and bikeshedding.
