Like @how I have dedicated enough time and energy commons janitoring and “weaving in public” for the SocialHub dev community in a role of community facilitator for 5 years. While this is often frustrating, largely unseen and unthankful work, I did it with pleasure, and gained a ton of experience, valuable skills and insights about the social dynamics of grassroots communities, technology ecosystems and tech advocacy in general.
My focus has since become the overarching requirements to uphold sustainable and healthy grassroots environments that are able to evolve and grow. Tackling major fediverse challenges and sustaining a healthy commons based standardization process for the ActivityPub family of technologies require dealing with the social aspects of our chaotic fediverse movement.
For anyone taking over community organization of this dev portal the offer to become affiliated with Social coding commons remains open. It is a means to tap into the value that is being created by working in commons with other commons participants, who are all also independent initiatives that have shared interests wrt the future of the social web.
(I am available for inquiries on the fediverse at @smallcircles@social.coop, on Social coding forum as @aschrijver, and as @circlebuilder:matrix.org on Matrix chat.)
Update: Also see my toot on the matter calling for people to step up..
