https://peertube.anduin.net/videos/watch/2a943cf8-96dd-462f-b03b-94e29232779b Have you attended an orchestral performance and wondered what it is exactly that conductors do besides waving their arms in the air? Most of the value that the conductor (community manager) brings to the orchestra (community) is carried out before the performance (behind the scenes). In this session, I will share my experiences in orchestras and open source communities big and small across different countries. How do you take care of the different types of contributors/players and bring out their best? What happens when they have differences in opinion on how to collaborate? How do you make the community welcoming and inclusive especially for people with different backgrounds and who may not speak your (programming) language? Join me on a musical journey through some of the common (and perhaps not so common) dissonances of community orchestration and their possible resolutions! Carol Chen is a Community Architect at Red Hat, supporting several upstream communities such as Ansible and ManageIQ. She has been actively involved in open source communities while working for Jolla and Nokia previously. In addition, she also has experiences in software development/integration in her 12 years in the mobile industry. On a personal note, Carol plays the Timpani in an orchestra in Tampere, Finland, where she now calls home. https://foss-north.se/2019/speakers-and-talks.html#cchen Sun, 10 May 2026 00:23:35 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.anduin.net https://peertube.anduin.net/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://peertube.anduin.net/videos/watch/2a943cf8-96dd-462f-b03b-94e29232779b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.anduin.net/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
