In this episode, I have a conversation with Anita Ihuman, a developer advocate and technical writer in Nigeria. Anita shares her experiences and insights from her volunteer work in open source communities, particularly her involvement in the CHAOSS and Layer 5 communities. We dive into Anita's contributions to community management, onboarding, documentation, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. She highlights the importance of these efforts in creating welcoming and inclusive spaces for all contributors. Anita also discusses her experiences working with geographically diverse projects and the challenges and opportunities they present. Lastly, we explore the role of research in showcasing the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Join us as we learn from Anita's journey and gain valuable insights into the world of open source communities.Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-ihumanhttps://badging.chaoss.community/project-badginghttps://chaoss.communityhttps://podcast.chaoss.communityhttps://fosstodon.org/@chaoss https://github.com/chaoss/Chaoss-Africahttps://twitter.com/chaoss_africahttps://layer5.io/community/meshmateshttps://layer5.io/cloud-native-management/mesheryhttps://sustainoss.org Support the show via Buy Me a CoffeeSend a boost with a new podcast app such as Fountain or via conshax.app/support/volunteertechnologistSee all the ways to contribute, and what producing this podcast costs, at volunteertechnologist.com/contribute/You can find me on Mastodon at podcastindex.social/@volunteertechnologist You can also reach me via volunteertechnologist.com/contact/Visit volunteertechnologist.com for show notes, transcripts, or more information.
