𧩠At XWiki, we run internal knowledge sharing sessions.
In April, we talked about feedback.
Jackal πΊ vs giraffe π¦ communication.
Main takeaway: Feedback is a gift. But it takes practice to pack it properly.
In a distributed team, where most communication is written, phrasing matters a lot.
Sessions like this help build shared understanding and trust over time.
P.S.: if this sounds like your kind of environment, we're hiring: π

Thereβs no office experience beating a sub 2 β¬ lunch on the sunny balcony. 
Biggest productivity killer nobody talks about:
Switching between 7 tools to do 1 job.
Email β project tool β file sharing β back to email β signing...
That's not a workflow. That's a scavenger hunt.
Three elements of Community Listening:
- How a group facilitates listening to the community members it serves
- How a group helps community members make sense of what it is learning
- How a group facilitates co-creating solutions with the community members it serves
For anyone interested in building, nurturing & sustaining communities, this blog post ππ» https://jeffdmerrell.ghost.io/2026-community-listening-and-environmental-equity-in-evanston/ by @jeffdmerrell is a #MustRead
It's a long, meaty read but *totally* worth it!
Note: This is a long post - much longer than I usually write. But it lays out the full current state of the work I am doing, and how I think about community listening, co-creating local solutions, and learning what those activities mean for environmental equity in my home city.
"The return-to-office push reflects a deeper tension: companies urgently investing in technologies that decentralise and automate work, while simultaneously doubling down on physical presence as proof of productivity. Itβs a contradiction that exposes a lack of coherent strategy for the future of work" ππ» Ouchie! In the midst of everything else that's going on, that's going to hurt pretty badly π€―π

𧩠Coming back after the weekend, one thing stands out.
It didnβt look the same for everyone at XWiki.
For some, it was Easter
For others, Palm Sunday
For some, just a quieter weekend
For others, no change at all
Thatβs what a remote, international team looks like in practice.
We donβt try to standardize that. We build around it.
Different calendars, same focus on open source.
