They're very synchronous and face-to-face pairing/discussion oriented but work well with introverts such as myself.
Boosts appreciated. HMU if you want an intro or go tohttps://www.transparentclassroom.com/developers

Some thoughts on #OpenSourceSoftware:
1. The granting of unlimited usage rights regardless of usage purpose inherently enables existing power structures. Those who would leverage or abuse power to acquire more power are _delighted_ to benefit from folks delight in the act of creative and productive expression through software. Any license that _does not_ take into account power dynamics is one that _enables and supports_ them.
2. "Free as in beer" entrenched OSS as for financially secure folks

My cofounders and I just open-sourced the first few commits towards a federated recurring-payments platform geared towards supporting independent and small groups of creatives. https://github.com/wecohere/nourish.party
We're going to be hacking on it over the winter break, and are super interested in help with ops/infra, marketing, and design!
