Scala 3 Compiler Academy Journey
summary
Project starts summer 2021, runs monthly pair sessions that pair 2–5 person pair-programming teams, and shifts from fixing about 4 issues per spree early on to a steady role of knowledge transfer; tooling includes Airtable plus visual no‑code automations wired to GitHub/Discord to cut admin work, and a registration change that drops team‑balancing from ~3 hours to ~20 minutes; outcome is small but consistent engagement—about 80+ unique participants, a YouTube catalogue of 14 videos and reliable, repeatable event logistics.
