Scaling Communities to be more Inclusive
summary
Focuses on concrete practices that actually scale inclusion: create public channels (Discord, Slack, mailing lists), run weekly meetings and office hours, use surveys and badges to collect needs, and recruit volunteers into roles so leadership survives turnover. Gives one concrete outcome: a Discord community grows to 25,000 users in under a month after a contributor builds structure and moderation. Covers accessible logistics (wheelchair access, dietary options), code of conduct enforcement and a point-of-contact email/phone for reports.
