Give everyone a quick background on your time building open-source communities and a bit about your foundation. We’ll dig into both areas today. Topic 2 - We caught up at All Things Open last fall. You gave a fascinating talk on using AI tools to accelerate the building of OSS communities. Give everyone the backstory on how that topic and presentation came to be. Topic 3 - This may be a dumb question, but DevRel is (still) all the rage. What is the difference between the approach to building OSS communities and the straight-up DevRel teams? How is success tracked in each? Are there solid metrics, or is it “fuzzy”? Topic 4 - Sadly, as far as I can tell, the session wasn’t recorded. But, for me, the big takeaway was how much dabbling you were doing with the tools and your good and bad experiences. I learned a lot from a practical aspect. But, the AI industry and tools are moving so fast. What’s in your toolbox today and why? Topic 5 - What are some of the gaps in the tools today? What’s missing? Topic 6 - Let’s talk about your side gig. You were part of the founding team and are exec director of a video game preservation society, Hit Save! How did that come to be? What does that entail?
