Fostering and Mentoring New Community Leaders
summary
Discussion drills into concrete practices and outcomes: using Slack plus recurring meetings, running a community access bootcamp then a sustained book club, and publishing the Open Source Way guide. Organizational scale appears — 400 communities of practice and $70 billion annual program funding at one institution — so formal training, coaching, and mentorship move failing groups to sustainable ones. Practical tips include facilitation checklists, hand‑signal adaptations for large groups, and low‑barrier tasks that actually retain contributors.
