You can't have a thriving codebase without a thriving community.Bridget Willard
You can't have a thriving codebase without a thriving community.
What does code have to do with community?
Free and Open Source Software depends upon the community who builds, creates, maintains, supports, translates, and markets it. That means any Open Source project depends upon a volunteer-based workforce.
We all recognize that our livlihoods are somewhat attributed to the ability to use Free and Open Source Software -- like WordPress -- so we volunteer, contribute, to give back.
What about burnout?
It's real.
We've addressed it before in many ways. So let's talk about how what a thriving community looks like.
What is a thriving community?
A thriving community realizes they can ebb and flow in and out of a project. They can contribute for months or years, take a break, maybe even mentor others, and come back -- or not.
A thriving community recruits volunteers based upon inclusion, not guilt.
A thriving community isn't burnt out or bitter.
A thriving community is healthy -- physically, emotionally, and financially.
A Word About Perfection
I spent 14 years in construction accounting and my job demanded perfection. I spent hours looking for a penny if my bank reconcilation was off. Job costing had to be accurate. Contracts had to be perfect. I get it.
The problem with perfectionism is when we take a marketable skill from our career and apply it to our personal lives.
Progress is better than perfection. Done is better than perfect. Something is better than nothing.
Let's Talk about Whole Health
Health comes in many forms: physical, emotional, and financial. And there are quite a few overlaps in these three distint areas, too.
It's fine to talk about the abstract. In the conceptual, we all agree we should be physically, emotionally, and financially healthy. But are we?
And do we stop from iterating in our personal lives because we haven't created the perfect meal or exercise plan, because we haven't felt emotionally ready or because we have financial goals that haven't been met? Maybe. But let's take some actionalble steps toward progress.
The -er approach
Better. Faster. Thinner. Healthier. Happier. They all end in -er. This suffix communicates progress -- not completion.
I'm going to talk about some of the things I've done in my life to be -er.
Thoughts on why the world needs open source, and how we can use the ideal of open source to ensure more open, collaborative businesses and business models.
Utilizing a blog for stimulating interest, spurring motivation, and creating ...Lee Arnold
In this presentation, I discuss the creation of a sense of community through blog-publishing learner writing from music listening in a first-year university EFL writing course. I first show the use of four differing pieces of instrumental music as stimulants to learner writing. From there, I display some selections of learner writing from the music that I published on my classes' teaching and learning blog. I culminate the presentation by showing how publication of learner writing and blog support for the music source material increased a sense of learner motivation, showcased unique efforts of creative learner writing, and created a sense of peer-teacher reader community.

Blogs have widened vistas in English L2 writing pedagogy for teachers and learners alike given their contextualizing and publishing capabilities. Such blog capabilities are often most fully realized through music video uploads, reproductions of art, and photography, and blog activities with such content may be ideal for learner writing. Indeed, while a body of literature exists for use of music in TEFL in terms of songs for listening or macro-skills classes, little has been written on the use of music or imagery in L2 writing pedagogy, making blog-based content with such material a potentially new and unexplored area for L2 writing research. This slide show is a continuation of the theme of an earlier presentation on the use of music as a platform for learner writing, and here I shall review how instrumental music, and examine how photographic images, may be used as bases for learner creative writing for contextualization and publication on blogs. It is my continued belief that such contextualizing and publishing L2 learner writing engages and motivates learners, and brings about a sense of class cohesion and community.
In our own words: Japanese and foreign university students and their lessons ...Lee Arnold
Overseas homestay stints can provide potentially life-changing experiences for Japanese university students while the experiences of foreign students at Japanese universities can prove to be as equally profound. Yet on both sides of the equation, issues arise to make such experiences outside the home cultures difficult on a number of counts. This presentation explores such issues and attempts to capture in the students' own words what these affirmations and issues can be through videos of the students speaking on their own experiences. Such videos may serve as models for future students who are thinking of studying and living outside their cultures for short stays.
Learner ownership in student presentation success (revised)Lee Arnold
Much of the research literature on student oral presentation assessment focuses on performance. Yet the intentions by teachers to create evaluative rubrics that could yield a blend of quantitative and qualitative findings may have the effect of demotivating novice presenters. My presentation focuses on such novices and my classroom experience with setting aside performance rubrics in favor of allowing learners to explore and prepare their poster and Power Point creations in their own terms, imparting a sense of task ownership to learners new to oral presentations as a result. It is my stance that emphasizing such learner autonomy and creativity within the preparation process may yield latent novice learner ability and success.
Learner creativity in presentation and writingLee Arnold
The subjective side of second language learning has often been overlooked in favor of a conception of L2 learning tied to objectivity, instrumental gain, measured through standardized testing. This presentation explores how creativity may be manifested by L2 acquirers through presentation and writing tasks and how motivation and an L2 identity that may differ, but track in viability, to L1 identity may be developed.

Ang pagbubukas ng Suez Canal
(THE OPENING OF SUEZ CANAL)
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez, and separates the African continent from Asia. After 10 years of construction, it was officially opened on November 17, 1869. The canal allows ships to travel between Europe and South Asia without navigating around Africa, thereby reducing the sea voyage distance by about 7,000 kilometres (4,300 mi). It extends 193.30 km (120.11 mi) from the northern terminus of Port Said to the southern terminus of Port Tewfik at the city of Suez. In 2012, 17,225 vessels traversed the canal (47 per day).
The canal is a single-lane waterway with passing locations in the Ballah Bypass and the Great Bitter Lake. It contains no locks system, with seawater flowing freely through it. In general, the canal north of the Bitter Lakes flows north in winter and south in summer. South of the lakes, the current changes with the tide at Suez.
The canal is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority[4] (SCA) of Egypt. Under the Convention of Constantinople, it may be used "in time of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag."
In August 2014, construction was launched to expand and widen the Ballah Bypass for 35 km (22 mi) to speed the canal's transit time. The expansion is expected to double the capacity of the Suez Canal from 49 to 97 ships a day. At a cost of $8.4 billion, this project was funded with interest-bearing investment certificates issued exclusively to Egyptian entities and individuals. The "New Suez Canal", as the expansion was dubbed, was opened with great fanfare in a ceremony on 6 August 2015.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated.
