Drew DeVault – Building and scaling Hare's community governance #FOSSBack

This talk by Drew DeVault explores the evolution of the Hare programming language community, which transformed from a small group of early enthusiasts into a vibrant and egalitarian network of contributors. Initiated in December 2019, the community adopted a lightweight model of participatory governance, growing to include 11 co-maintainers and over 100 contributors. The speaker delves into each stage of this journey, detailing the changes made to governance practices and how decisions aligned with the community's core values, ultimately fostering a thriving collaborative environment.
