I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on what principles open source projects should adhere to in order to promote transparency, inclusiveness, and effective development. Are there any specific projects you feel do a great job following certain principles in how they operate? I’m interested in how projects organize decision making, manage donations, incorporate community feedback, communicate updates, and more. Please share projects you appreciate for how they approach open source development!
I’ll humor you and give my input. If someone is making a FOSS project, get at least one person on your team with rudimentary social skills. Make them involved with support. Because as a simple user, “just use Discord” or “just use Linux” is not an answer to a tech problem, and it can sometimes be insulting to have the go-to people avoid answering the question
