Approachable Open Source dives deep into what I call the spectrum of engagement. We need to identify, advocate for, and celebrate the totality of work that makes a project a success. This is work. It takes intention and priority.

if i missed anyone, it wasn't intentional - there's just a lot of text to comb through. happy to add any omissions 💚

I worry at times that the cost counters will have the final entry on the ledger, but am always energized by regular folks organizing around things they value.
If you'd like to navigate these waters with me, hazard to buy a copy. I pick up the physical prints next week!

You don't have to look far to see the risks and the rewards. I lament the rug-pull, the doompiece, the vulnerabilities. But I love seeing new funding models, new forks, and new methods. They quiet the chaos of a timeline full of FUD. They ground me in progress, not pessimism.

Who's this book for? This book is for the curious, the busy, or the eager technologist that wants to level up their relationship with open source software. That might be you! I promise your talent and perspective, intentionally channeled, is the latent energy many communities need.
