Abstract
Building and nurturing an open source developer community in Armenia comes with challenges that might be surprising if you’re used to communities in the US or in Europe. In this talk, I’ll share how I applied community-building strategies to create a more diverse and inclusive space with shared purpose, and spark meaningful collaboration. Gain actionable insights that you can take back to your own developer communities, wherever they are. I’ll talk about: How I am trying to launch community initiatives in this region (5 minutes) How I started and grew an open source community user group (5 minutes) How I am navigating the cultural differences, my experiences and the challenges (5 minutes)
