| schestowitz[TR2] | "Hey Everyone, | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It is day #11 today and I will simply be sharing the things I have learned from being part of a community. | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This post comes from a real experience—I missed today’s meeting due to personal reasons, but when I logged into the community platform, the full meeting details had already been shared. The discussions, key takeaways, and next steps were all documented. That’s the power of a well-structured community. It keeps moving, ensuring that no one is left behind. | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Day 11 – Lessons from the Fedora Community: DEI & Project Management | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | One of the best things about being involved in the Fedora community is seeing how open-source collaboration meets real-world challenges. Whether it’s about building inclusive spaces or managing projects effectively, there’s always something to learn. | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | One key lesson? DEI isn’t just a policy—it’s a practice. Fedora has made conscious efforts to create spaces where everyone feels valued, from maintaining inclusive documentation to ensuring diverse voices are heard in decision-making. But, like any community, there’s always room for improvement. | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | On the project management side, Fedora’s use of tools like GitLab keeps things transparent and organized. Every contribution—big or small—is tracked, making collaboration smoother and more accessible for newcomers. | Apr 04 05:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | What have you learned from being part of open-source communities? Whether in Fedora or elsewhere, what’s something that has shaped your perspective on DEI or project management? Let’s discuss! | Apr 04 05:53 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Apr 04 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>As for the reasons behind this decision, Ryan Sipes, Thunderbird’s Managing Director of Product, explains it this way: </p> | Apr 04 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> "The Why for offering these services is simple. Thunderbird loses users each day to rich ecosystems that are both clients and services, such as Gmail and Office365. These ecosystems have both hard vendor lock-ins (through interoperability issues with 3rd-pary clients) and soft lock-ins (through convenience and integration between their clients and services). It is our goal to even | Apr 04 11:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | tually have a similar offering so that a 100% open source, freedom-respecting alternative ecosystem is available for those who want it." </p> | Apr 04 11:12 |
