So how do you build a community?... common interests.. communication... trust... contributions... OCD... all are important... Ten years ago a small group of people created a gathering. The gathering grew through invitation and conferences into something a little bit bigger. With now over 190 people, a wiki with over 14 thousand edits and well enough shocking code to make the industry proud Ollie will discuss how it happened. The talk will discuss the beginnings, what worked, what didn't, some of the bumps along the way and the challenges it continues to face. The goal is to show it is possible even with small groups so great a community which feels generally fair and that appears to work combined with tips on things that tripped us up along the way.
