Open Source Resilience & Growth: Creating Communities
summary
Frames resilience around four focus areas — meaning, wellness, healthy thinking and connection — and argues KDE already has a clear vision but needs stronger brand, outreach and paid roles. Recommends measuring community health with the CHAOSS project (including the app ecosystem working group), hiring staff or contractors, widening non-code roles, running regular social onboarding events, using issue templates, treating descriptions as living docs, and practicing collaborative phrasing like yes and plus cross‑culture guides.
