Speaker
Description
Over the 28 years KDE has been active, the community has developed its own particular vision, goals, values, norms of behavior and processes.
Yet, as a living organism, it constantly needs to adapt to the ever evolving world around it, and to remain coherent, ensure that new contributors internalize the community's character and expectations.
Join me to explore this journey, regarding the critical role of establishing and sustaining a strong community culture within open source projects, delving into best practices and continuous engagement strategies, and examine how to create an environment where culture evolves positively over time.
