  3. Social Engineering: Building A Community On Purpose

with Mike Hoye

13 January, 2015 at 07:30 PM

Community building in Open Source is usually "organic" - meaning "accidental, unsupervised and messy". The bazaar has matured a lot in the last twenty years, though, and now we know a lot about how we can do better. Mike Hoye, Mozilla's Engineering Community Manager, would like to tell you what works, what doesn't, and why that's important.

Location

George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre at Ryerson University

245 Church Street, Room 203 (second floor).

Schedule

  • 7:30 pm Meeting and presentation.
  • 9:00 pm After each meeting a group of GTALUGers move to the The Library/ The Imperial Pub at 54 Dundas St East for beer and more socializing.

Code of Conduct

We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.

We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardize the participation of any person in the community.

The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honored by everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims affiliation, or participates directly. It applies to activities online or offline.

We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open.

We encourage you to read the complete Code of Conduct before attending the meeting.
