Shauna Gordon-McKeon explores the power and potential in being thoughtful your project's governance, and how expanding your view of what governance entails can create a virtuous cycle.

New blog post: harihareswara.net/posts/2023/s… Set Contributor Expectations To Reduce Ghosting
It's frustrating when a new #opensource contributor vanishes. You can reduce how frequently that happens:
* Understand why they ghost
* Articulate your vision
* Set expectations in the contributors' guide, & in auto-replies/boilerplate replies
* Prioritize quick first-level reviews
* Follow up with "resources if you're stuck" checkins
* Build safeguards against cookie-licking

The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.
With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱
Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.
This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊
