The power of asking for help and making space(or getting barriers out of the way) for those who have the energy and enthusiasm to help, that’s a power of Node.js and its community. That’s the story and fellowship we are working to protect as the ecosystem grows. Node.js is 7 years old now. Tracy Hinds will share the history of the Node.js community, its legacy, how flawed we are in our efforts to grow a high velocity OSS project, and how every facet of the project is stepping up in order to make these changes lessons for other OSS communities.
