Open Source ISN'T about code — it’s about THIS

Описание: Building a thriving open source project isn’t about just writing code — it’s about building a welcoming community. 🚀

In this video, we dive into one of the most overlooked secrets to open source success: making contributors feel valued, respected, and connected. Whether you're running a small project or leading a major open source initiative, creating a positive community experience will determine if people stick around or disappear.

You'll learn:
Why people, not code, are the heart of every successful project
How to quickly set up simple communication channels (Slack, Discord, mailing lists, and more)
Why a clear Code of Conduct is a must (and how to borrow a great one)
The critical role transparency plays in community trust
The underrated power of answering every single question

🌟 Pro Tip: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a fantastic starting point if you're drafting your first community guidelines!

If you're serious about growing your project, building a welcoming space isn't optional — it's essential.
