The Course Of True Community Management Never Did Run Smooth, In 1 Act

summary
One-act conversation argues that community management needs practical peer-to-peer systems not another policy chapter: reference to Open Source Way 2.0 and decades of project practices proves the guide exists but mentorship gaps persist. Specific proposals include regular coffee chats, a shared onboarding workflow, and a "community of caretakers" knowledge base; an example built locally is an internal Asian Network at Red Hat, and an invitation to continue discussions at the Red Hat Booth illustrates low‑budget, repeatable outreach. This is presented as urgent and actionable.
