As a former elected Board member, I support this 100%. One problem with an elected Board is that it doesn't assure that the needed competencies are available at the Board level. Over time the OSI added more and more appointed Board members to address this problem, but it is time to reconsider the full process #FOSS #OSI #OpenSource #HealthyCommunities

What Makes a Healthy Creative Community? (Signs, Red Flags, and Real Belonging)

Not all groups provide genuine community, and many can feel unwelcoming. For neurodivergent individuals or introverts, belonging is crucial for artistic expression. Key indicators of a supportive community include kindness, accessibility, and inclusivity. Trust your instincts; seek spaces that nurture your authentic self and foster creativity without fear of judgment.

Last month, we shared our harvests with families and many children enjoyed healthy green meals. At (EYNU) we believe greens are natureโ€™s medicine They fight hidden hunger, build strong bodies, and give mothers and children better health.
Some students learned how to grow their own food, and even left gardens thriving at home before returning to school Together, weโ€™re growing a healthier, greener future for our communities

"Reconnecting people with their food, and re-teaching people how to grow their own food, has the potential to positively and permanently change the world. It is possible to grow food that is fresher, healthier, and more diverse than what is currently found in the grocery stores..." https://www.onecommunityglobal.org/large-scale-gardening/
