Fedora has been using DIscourse for some while, but it has many clever little features that people are often unaware of. In this session, we'll go over some many of these, and go over any challenges people may be having with Discourse as well.
As a nearly 10-year user of Discourse (I started using it in 2016, and became an admin for the first time in 2017) I've learned a lot about what is possible with the platform, as well as having some insights as to what it does well for the moderators and admins as well as the day-to-day users. Ask me anything on Discourse, and we'll dig into it!
Greg Sutcliffe has been participating in open source communities for almost two decades, and is currently a Senior Sysadmin for Fedora. Before that, he was Community Architect and Data Scientist for Ansible, and Community Architect for Foreman.
In addition to the technical side of communities, he's also interested in the structure of communities, how people interact, and how communities achieve their aims. He's also interested in community data, and how we can use that to understand communities through a different view. He also wishes people wouldn't take averages of things they shouldn't.
