It takes a Village
summary
IEEE is building a community platform that is 100% open source and organized around role diversity rather than identity quotas, claiming that defined roles increase recruitment, reduce politics and improve product quality. The stack uses GitLab CE, Mattermost and BigBlueButton with a scalable containerized BigBlueButton deployment, templated checklists, proof-of-concept installs, architectural reviews and a badging system; one external nonprofit deployment is complete and the governance-to-standards path is already operating.
