I am joining Constantia (https://constantia.io) as Director of Community, where I will be working with multiple open-source communities as well as building communities for open-source tech companies and organisations.
I'm incredibly excited about this opportunity and being able to have a dedicated focus on building open-source communities. I can't wait to join the Constantia team!
After over 10 years at Woo/Automattic, I am leaving to pursue new things. Since my WordPress community work was part of my work at Automattic, this also means that I will be taking a step back from the WordPress project.
One of the things that I value most about Automattic is the deep commitment to open-source, so I'm very excited that with my new role, I'm going all in on open-source community building.
Since Mastodon is connecting me to new folks, I'd love to hear from online community, moderation, trust, and safety pros and volunteers that:
- Have not been on a podcast and perhaps even doubt they deserve to be on one!
- Have less than 250 Mastodon followers.
- Are doing the work of building online communities and platforms.
For consideration of being a guest on @communitysignal! Please read the full thread. Thank you!
Merry Christmas from my kids to you and yours 🎄

Here are two practical methods that I have found effective for running team meetings across incompatible time zones:

Giving this a shot - I don't have any particularly negative feelings about the future of Twitter, but can't hurt to try this out!
Want to talk about community building, open-source, building teams, or some combination of all of those? Hit me up!
