It takes a Village - Role Diversity in Open Source
summary
IEEE launches an open source education platform and focuses on role diversity to turn users into makers, not just coders. The project runs on BigBlueButton, Mattermost and GitLab CE while testing Nextcloud and Collabora/OnlyOffice, uses wikis to reveal hidden contributors, and runs POCs with security audits through a 16-step external / ~30-step internal production readiness pipeline. Governance sits in three advisory groups (technical, marketing, community), recruitment and microsites address burnout, and the platform is live with documentation and tooling improvements underway.
