It's time for another talk about community! And who better for us to speak to, than friend of the podcast Jono Bacon? Jono is the Founder of Community Leadership Core, and a community expert. He's sitting down with us to give us a look behind the scenes of how he completely transforms communities. From those that have yet to get off the ground, to those that are experiencing a dip after their heyday, Jono and his team know the practical steps to get these communities thriving - or thriving again! Community Leadership Core isn't quite a course and neither is it a consultancy, or a cohort. So Jono describes it as an accelerator, and like most companies, it's gone through a few stages before ending up where it was always meant to be. Jono is selective in the best way when it comes to his clients, only working with those really willing to put the effort in. Those truly excited take on and apply solutions, rather than allowing fear to come into their decision making process. We find this hugely admirable, as so much of our focus in DevRel is on getting people in the door - but the reality is that not every client is right for you, and we should all be more comfortable with walking away from something that ultimately won't work out! One thing that is clear from this discussion is that for Jono, the devil is in the details. He tells us about his quest to unlock “low friction value” for his clients. When building communities, it's not always the biggest moves that will add the most. So many people struggle to get people into their community, and when Jono looks at their onboarding process it's a tiresome, confusing mess. There lies the unlocked low friction value. Streamlining that process may seem like a small, simple task. But it's those very small tasks that add up into a huge wave of new members. If you're currently building, or want to build any kind of community, this one is a must-listen!

She is constantly looking for people, places, and events within open source communities that help inspire others to communicate, collaborate and contribute to those communities.

Jono Bacon's passion for building communities has been a driving force in a career taken him from Canonical to GitHub to founding the Community Leadership Core community accelerator. In this episode, Jono shares his definition of community, how a community can create a movement and the differences between the two. We also get a bit of insight into how he developed his passion for building communities and why he continues helping companies build and support theirs through the Community Leadership Core.

In this episode of Peers Over Beers, hosts Chris Detzel and Nicole Saunders are joined by special guest Jono Bacon, an expert in building online communities, to discuss how artificial intelligence and new technologies like large language models will impact the future of community building.They explore how AI chatbots may take over some routine community management tasks like answering common support questions, allowing community managers to focus more on building relationships and delivering personalized experiences. However, they acknowledge the need to pivot community roles to focus less on simplistic Q&A and more on engaging users in diverse ways like facilitating thought leadership and fostering connections.The hosts also dive into the influx of AI-generated content and how it may clutter community discussions. They debate whether the onus is on community managers to moderate bot-created content or if search engines will adapt algorithms to surface high-quality human-created content. Overall, they agree community builders need to embrace AI as an accelerator for engagement but must skill up on leveraging these tools to avoid disruption.With his extensive experience across various online communities, Jono provides thoughtful perspectives on AI's potential benefits and pitfalls for community professionals. His insights help paint a nuanced picture of how to prepare communities for an AI-driven future.

Hello and welcome to CHAOSScast Community podcast, where we share use cases and experiences with measuring open source community health. Elevating conversations about metrics, analytics, and software from the Community Health Analytics Open Source Software, or short CHAOSS Project, to wherever you like to listen. Today, we're having a revisit episode with a guest we've had on before. We're so excited to welcome back Jono Bacon, a leading community and collaboration strategy consultant, author, and speaker, and previously led community at GitHub, Canonical, and XPRIZE.

Download this episode now to find out much more, and don't forget to subscribe for free to this podcast on your favorite podcast app and share this podcast with your friends and colleagues! [00:02:48] Jono gives us an introduction about who he is and what he does. [00:04:22] We find out some key strategies that Jono's been using lately to propel his personal career and development as a Community Manager. [00:07:55] Lori wonders if anyone is seeing this move toward integrating and working with different tools as opposed to having everything centralized, and if this has to do with the onset of Web3. Jono tells us how he's skeptical of the all-in-one community. [00:10:20] Georg brings up how we need more diversity in the ecosystem of tooling and Jono shares his thoughts on this. [00:13:14] Venia tells us about Grapevine communication. [00:15:14] The cruise ship model of data structure is brought up and Venia wonders where Jono thinks that's going to take us moving into the future of Web3. [00:18:17] Georg asks Jono if he sees changes in communities and how communities work due to these new demands that are being put on them. [00:22:35] Jono tells us what a Community Manager's responsibility should be to the community by explaining it in three layers: Policy, Technology, and Influence. [00:29:45] Lori expresses the importance of listening to the passionate people, and since community is a teachable profession, she asks, “Where does it go now?” [00:34:26] Jono gives us his honest answer to the least understood aspects of being a Community Manager since a lot has changed over the last two years. [00:38:16] Find out Jono's opinion on how community manages metrics. Value Adds of the week: [00:42:31] Jono's pick is something he learned from his coach that was super interesting which is, when you've got the right balance of enthusiasm and you're only going to work with people who really are aligned on what you're trying to do, you'll get better at what you do. [00:44:19] Venia's pick is when you make a mistake, iterate the plan, and make sure you're not iterating it yourself. [00:45:39] Georg's pick is a journey he's taking to start reading more and learn about living healthier. [00:46:17] Lori's picks are to ignore your head and just go do something that you think is really going to make you happy, and the joy of finding these things that were a part of you in the past and you can now bring forward.

Guests Rich Bowen | Paul Berschick Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! On this episode, Richard is at the FOSS Backstage 2022 that is held in Berlin every year. This conference focuses on open source sustainability. He had the opportunity to interview people who were there in-person and talk about software sustainability, what they hope to find in FOSS Backstage, talks they did, and a bunch of other good stuff. Our first guest is Richard Bowen, who's been doing open source stuff for over twenty years, most recently at Red Hat, and just started working at AWS in the open source group. We also have another guest, Paul Berschick, who is one of the organizers of FOSS Backstage, and does Open Source Events at Plain Schwarz. Go ahead and download this episode now to find out more! [00:00:58] Rich tells us what he's doing now since leaving Red Hat. [00:02:13] We hear about Rich's talk he did on, “Delivering Bad News: Helping your community through a rough patch.” [00:04:45] Rich shares his thoughts on what happens when incentives don't align. [00:07:40] If you want a great read, Rich tells us a fantastic book to look into called, The Art of Community: Seven Principles of Belonging by Charles Vogl, as well as sharing advice to hang out with other Community Managers and to listen to his talk if you want to learn something. [00:10:25] How does Rich sees the role of Community Managers going and how does he think of community? [00:14:25] Find out where you can follow Rich online. [00:15:47] We now have Paul Berschick joining us and he tells us about Plain Schwarz. [00:17:02] Paul explains how much FOSS Backstage has grown since 2018, including the pandemic and how that changed. [00:21:35] How is Paul working to recreate and enable the amazing connections that he makes with people through FOSS Backstage for people who are remote? [00:25:28] Richard wonders how Paul has noticed, given his place of an event organizer, that his particular clientele influences how he builds these spaces, and if it changes how he views things because he does open source stuff. [00:27:52] Paul shares how he feels he's helping the ecosystem as a whole besides just having a one-off conference. [00:30:47] Does Paul feel FOSS Backstage could do better at accessing the rest of the long tail open source developers?

“Communities have this amazing phenomenon that we've seen for 1000s of years. If you've got 100 people, let's say there's 100 of your listeners, each one of those people has got different ideas and perspectives, and time, and expertise and experiences. And when you bring all of those things out into the open in a collaborative environment, then we can learn and we can benefit from each other, we can collaborate more effectively together.”-Jono Bacon, Founder of Jono Bacon ConsultingJoin Ben and Jono as they talk about the strategies in building a community.

This week, we sit with the legendary LGBTQ+ community builder, Shana Sumers. Shana began her career as a music therapist, but after five years working to change lives through music, she shifted to changing lives through diversity and inclusion in the HER community. Sumers' music therapy background provided her with a strong foundation of listening and understanding different types of people, which led her to become the Head of Community of the HER app. The community grew to 4 million members with 40+ subgroups of safe spaces, for LGBTQ+ individuals to gather, grow, and learn from one another. Shana discusses how to identify Moderators and how she built out the Moderator program. Zero tolerance policies against phobias were enforced and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion discussions were supported and encouraged. The HER app continues to find ways to build this diverse and inclusive community and bring the voices of underrepresented groups to the front. Who is this episode for?: B2C, Online, Starting 3 key takeaways: - Shana learned early of the power of building WITH the HER community by walking in their shoes, learning their needs, desires, and struggles, and not FOR the HER community. - Shana built an inclusive and diverse community by having a zero-tolerance phobia policy, actually talking to the community members to see what they could do better, encouraging continual DEI education, building new subgroups for all identities, and having a diverse set of moderators. - To identify a good moderator, Shana found individuals who wanted to build community instead of their own ego and had genuine concern for the community members. She would interview them, provide training manuals, videos, and monthly meetings to provide support, encourage, and educate them about current issues. Notable Quotes: 1. “The prime definition of what being a community manager is providing spaces for people to connect over general interests. I wanted to be that person so as I started to get into actually building my first community space and what that looked like, I continue to be like, ‘this is awesome'. Who else gets to sit there during their day and figure out techniques and strategies to bring people together. Then you get to sit and watch all of these new connections happen and all of the people find love or friendship or groups to meet up with. It's so cool because you're the person who helped do that. It's like an ongoing party planner without having to pause.” 2. “You have to do the work to go out and learn what the actual issues are and then figure out how you're going to address it. Have company understanding of why this is important and that it's ingrained in your missions and policies and then put programs together that support these communities and continue to support them, not just on a monthly basis, not just when it's black history month, and not just when it's pride.” 3. “So what do you look for in an interview to tell you if someone's going to be a good moderator or not? One that I look for is that they're looking to build community and not to build their own ego or brand or anything like that. There's a very clear language where it shows that they want to give outwardly. So they're saying, ‘I want to give back', ‘I want to be more in this space', ‘I'm seeing X, Y, Z', ‘I wish I could help'. The types of phrases that are helpful, actionable, and show a genuine concern for the community are the people that I look for. Anybody else who's like, ‘Yeah it'll look good on my resume or I'll be around for a bit, I'm jobless right now so I'm hoping that this will just lead to a job.' Things that are more beneficial for them, those are the people that we don't want.” Rapid fire question answers: 1. What's your favorite book to recommend to others? ‘More Than Enough' by Elaine Welteroth, Gabrielle Union's Book, ‘We're Going To Need More Wine', and ‘Becoming' by Michelle Obama. For community-centric books, Jono Bacon's ‘People Powered', and ‘Building Brand Communities' by Carrie Jones. 2. Who's an up and coming community builder you think is going to do big things? Mica Le John of 2Swim 3. If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Crab Legs or French Fries 4. What's Your Go-To Community Engagement Conversation Starter? Set up scenarios and ask people how they'd respond to those scenarios. 5. What's Your Go-To Self Care? Cleaning 6. If you could choose one metric to use forever to measure communities, what would it be? Participation Framework from Jono Bacon - likes seeing people hit their rewards. 7. What's the weirdest community you've ever been a part of? Australian Lesbian Single community 8. If you're on your death bed and you could only leave one piece of life advice behind for all the future generations, what would that advice be? Take those unexpected chances and go with your gut.

In the first episode of Keep Connected, Meetup CEO David Siegel interviews author, blogger, and community building expert Jono Bacon. For Jono, successful community building begins by offering solutions to a common problem. Tune in for lessons on incentivizing behavior, meaningful metrics, book recs, and more! 

On today's first ever live podcast, we're joined by Jono Bacon, Community Consultant and Author. Jono was 17 years old when he discovered the world coming together through the operating system, Linux, and a light bulb went off that he should start joining and learning everything he could about community. He has since become one of the most influential and talented community builders out there, specializing in open-source communities that contribute actively to create an experience or product. Jono gives a glimpse of his new book, People Powered, where he shares the methodology for building community. 1. Be intentional about who your audience is and what your purpose is, and 2. Provide value by serving their best interests and solving their problems. In order to get buy-in for your community, start with casual members who find value in the community, build a habit of them coming back, and then they become regulars and shape your community. He also dives into the renaissance that community is experiencing with the shift to online. People are now sharing what they are doing in communities through books, seminars, social media, events, and more. Whereas, previous to the online community explosion, the platforms and products for building community were nonexistent. Jono talks about the future of community metrics and hopes to reach a point where he can measure happiness and sense of community, instead of obsessing about data and graphs. But at the end of the day, some data metrics of community are better left unknown and that's the beauty of it. Who is this episode for?: In Person & Online. Scaling. All types of communities. 3 key takeaways: - Jono's methodology for building community is: 1. Be Intentional about who your audience is and their needs. 2. Provide value by serving their best interests and solving their problems. - Community is going through a renaissance with the societal switch to technology, and community is now talked about on podcasts, social media, in events, and more. - The true metrics of community are happiness, the sense of community, and trust - but these metrics may always be better left unknown.

Today we talk with Jono Bacon about his book People Powered. Which discusses how communities can supercharge your business, brand, and teams. The book is full of resources to help you better your communities or start a community from the ground up. We are excited to talk in more detail with Jono about People Powered and communities in this day and age. www.talkingdrupal.com/265 Topics Stephen - back to school Nic - RFPs John- Update Book overview Quotes Impact of pandemic on communities Tips for building communities Why a book on community Open Source and Corporate Resources Jono Bacon on Triangulation Loom Jono Bacon Jono Webinars People Powered Book Club Hosts Stephen Cross - www.stephencross.com @stephencross John Picozzi - www.oomphinc.com @johnpicozzi Nic Laflin - www.nLighteneddevelopment.com @nicxvan Guest Jono Bacon  @jonobacon  www.jonobacon.com/
