Sustainable Growth of Global Communities: R-Ladies' Next Ten Years
summary
R-Ladies grows from one meetup to 231 chapters and ~4,000 events by applying programming practices to community operations: modular teams, refactoring workflows, and testing onboarding. A manual copy‑paste directory workflow becomes a form + table pipeline that uses GitHub Actions to validate entries, create automated PRs, and run on scheduled Friday runs, shifting effort from data entry to review, reducing errors and burnout. Onboarding is partly automated (org invites, team assignment, welcome issue), improving maintainability.
