I just chatted with @harisood and @aldenc about some questions around community building within 2i2c and other communities. Here are some quick takeaways:
let me know if any other major points stood out to you @harisood or @aldenc !
Some references that came out of this:
LGTM! One thought is that for community-specific spaces, it'd be good to actively assign someone to be the leader/organiser for that space - so there is a clear point of contact between the 2i2c governed spaces and the more domain specific ones.
I had another conversation with some Turing folks today, this time with @malvikasharan @aldenc @harisood and @Arielle-Bennett (please let me know if you'd like me to add any major points).
Here were some main takeaways I recall (raw notes in the HackMD linked in the top comment):
Three major questions we'd like to answer
and a few topics related to this:
2i2c spaces for conversation that include community spaces
community.2i2c.org
might be a Discourse forum, it has several top-level sections that cover community-agnostic workflow questions. We encourage community members to participate with one another in this space and we also engage there. community-A
, community-B
, etc. We empower community leaders to structure these spaces as they like.Growing community management capacity in other communities
A potential model to pitch funders
You'd need funding to cover the time of engineering, service guidance, and community management guidance + cloud costs.
I have an issue to track the blog post we wanted to write out of this meeting here:

Context
Our current hub service model is essentially a collaborative team with three roles:
The last two roles ("Product and Community Lead" and "Community Manager") have overlapping skillsets and responsibilities, but are distinct roles in the service.
Proposal
We should investigate the differences between "Product and Community Lead" type roles and "Community Manager" roles, in order to understand how to define the "Shared Responsibility Model" for these two roles in our service. Some questions that we want to answer:
Timing
This is probably going to be an ongoing question that will take some time to figure out, so I suggest we break this down into short-term goals and checkpoints, and close this once we have some documentation that has roughly stabilized.
