Ten Years of Community Organizer
summary
Ten years of organizing work claim concrete wins: program chair for 5 years running selection and recordings, migration from ad hoc Google Drives to documented processes, and reimbursements within two weeks for volunteers. Tools mentioned include Python, Jupyter, TensorFlow and MongoDB (local Meetup and MongoDB Master 2016). A surprising scale note: early Python DE had ~4,500 attendees. Recent build is a new nonprofit Pioneers H launching January to provide stable back‑office services.
