Architecting Communities
summary
Techlahoma applies software practices to community building: a git based workflow with GitHub issues for transparency, Trello kanban boards for task tracking, password managers and shared superuser accounts to avoid single points of failure. Scaffolding and shared repos produce six new user groups and recurring conferences after an early 72 person meeting, reuse of websites and projectors reduces duplication, and policies like a public Trail plus a code of conduct improve inclusivity and longevity.
