- Lead by example, both in doing the technical work and creating culture.
- Align incentives for contribution and participation.
- Create agency for your community members.
- Intentionally build THIS group’s “culture”.
- Foster inclusivity.
- Empower others in the group.
- Listen and adapt to develop contributor motivation.
- Make it easy.
- Expect and prepare for community turnover.
The full list with resources can be access on the checklist webpage.
