Stop Reinventing the Wheel! Community Management in 3 Steps
summary
Three clear steps produce actionable community work: use the Open Source Way guidebook plus a worksheet in GitHub to audit a project, write a short report, then act on recommendations. Live demos show audits hitting the main issues in 2–4 hours and producing a punch list (quick start docs, Meetup calendar, style guide, metrics). Examples include audits of Operate First, Green Software Foundation and others; chapters and checklists are ready to copy or adapt for immediate use.
