Need more positive examples of open source communication

[sagesharp]

This is an open issue for anyone to leave links to conversations in open source communities that they think are particularly positive. As I'm designing the sentiment analysis to recognize empathy, so I'm looking for uplifting threads with thanks, gratitude, helpfulness, collaboration, or praise. Other positive conversations are also welcome.

https://github.com/24pullrequests/24pullrequests is a very welcoming group, also only really has activity during December every year which might produce some interesting results

Kevin Riggle on twitter recommends the Zulip Google Summer of Code repo.

Some threads from the Rust mailing list (Rust eventually switched to Discourse and stopped using the mailing list, but these are from the mailing list since that's the time when I was participating). The links are just to the original messages, but if you follow links through Pipermail's interface, you can see that each of these threads has a number of replies. I think all of them show collaboration and helpfulness, and most show at least some of thanks, gratitude, or praise.
