Our Background | ||

<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
EddieHub was founded by Eddie Jaoude, GitHub Star, GitHub Star of | ||
the Year 2020 and winner of the GitHub Community Growth Award 2021. | ||
As a passionate advocate of Open Source who has always believed in | ||
giving back to the tech community, Eddie’s particular focus is | ||
creating and supporting opportunities for those wanting to start a | ||
career in tech. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Recognising that starting in Open Source can be daunting, Eddie was | ||
keen to build a community which focused on Open Source for those | ||
with varying tech abilities and at different stages of their tech | ||
journey. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
The main objective was for members to share their experiences by | ||
adopting both a mentor and mentee role on the premise that everyone | ||
has something to teach but also something to learn. “Collaboration | ||
First, Code Second” quickly became what the community members live | ||
by. | ||
</p> | ||
<h2 className="font-display mt-5 text-3xl tracking-tight sm:text-4xl"> | ||
Our Aims | ||
</h2> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
EddieHub’s overall aim is to support members in: accelerating their | ||
learnings so that they can have the career they want. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
This can be broken down into two components: | ||
</p> | ||
<ol className="mt-4 list-decimal text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
<li> | ||
Improving your technical expertise through Open Source | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"></p>Through tutorials | ||
explaining key concepts of Open Source ranging from; how to get | ||
started on Github, to Documentation, Automated Testing and | ||
Continuous Delivery (CI and CD), guest interviews with experts in | ||
the field to live streams where your projects can be reviewed and | ||
you can receive feedback and encouragement. | ||
<p> | ||
Technical knowledge is also built upon in the Discord channels | ||
and GitHub Discussions where members can ask questions and share | ||
their projects, whilst getting the guidance and support from | ||
Eddie, our expert moderators as well as all members of the | ||
community. | ||
</p> | ||
</li> | ||
<Image | ||
className="mx-auto" | ||
src={Support} | ||

height="500" | ||
/> | ||
<li> | ||
Building upon your communication skills | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
For EddieHub, learning how to collaborate is key and we believe | ||
that a vital part of knowing how to collaborate with others is | ||
through effective communication skills. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Often there are limited opportunities to expand upon these | ||
skills. You may work within a small team and liaise with the | ||
same colleagues on a daily basis, work on your own or, as a | ||
result of geographic location, there may not be opportunities | ||
(such as clubs or meet-up groups) to develop your communication | ||
style and confidence. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
By creating a community with members from all around the world | ||
and with different technical levels, EddieHub has generated an | ||
opportunity for members to interact with a large diversity of | ||
people. This constant interaction between members means that the | ||
way they receive feedback has an impact on how they communicate | ||
feedback to others. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Recognising that at the outset these communication skills were | ||
primarily through the Discord written messages and GitHub Issues | ||
and Pull Requests, EddieHub has launched initiatives for regular | ||
Public Speaking events, tutorials and “Ask me Anything” sessions | ||
to further support its members. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
We are pleased that members have reported that this approach has | ||
been invaluable to them. Had they not made their projects Open | ||
Source, they would not have been able to progress these in the | ||
same way as a private project. In addition, whilst feedback was | ||
either not sought or viewed as a negative critique, it is now | ||
both actively encouraged and more confidently given. | ||
</p> | ||
</li> | ||
</ol> | ||
<h2 className="font-display mt-5 text-3xl tracking-tight sm:text-4xl"> | ||
Our Core Values | ||
</h2> | ||
<p>Behind these aims are EddieHub’s core values:</p> | ||
<ol className="mt-4 list-decimal text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
<li> | ||
An inclusive and welcoming environment | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
As with many other communities, EddieHub has a Code of Conduct | ||
and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion policy. In addition we have | ||
excellent moderators who keep a close eye to ensure that members | ||
feel EddieHub is a safe space where they can learn, network and | ||
share their experiences. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
We had observed that many other communities had a very “male | ||
orientated” language, as well as making assumptions that | ||
everyone went by the “he/him” gender pronoun. We wanted EddieHub | ||
to be different and use gender neutral language to ensure that | ||
we did not alienate any members whilst making a clear stance | ||
against the “bro culture” which often dominates the tech space. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Through a community discussion we achieved this through our | ||
Discord bot named “EddieBot”, which picks up and suggests | ||
alternatives to gender favouring, polarising, race related, | ||
religion inconsiderate or other unequal phrasing. In addition, | ||
Eddiebot was built by the community members and we feel this is | ||
an accurate reflection to members’ commitment to these core | ||
values. | ||
</p> | ||
<Image | ||
className="mx-auto" | ||
src={Eddiebot} | ||

width="auto" | ||
height="300" | ||
/> | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
The wellbeing of our community members. | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Moderators and members advocate for taking time for self care | ||
and avoiding burning out. We have a Discord channel dedicated to | ||
our members sharing what they do in their down time, which in | ||
turn reminds others to take a break. We want to lead by example | ||
in the tech space and stop glamourising overworking and the | ||
“hustle” culture, through sharing tips and tutorials on the | ||
EddieHub Blog as to how you can ensure you are looking after | ||
yourself. | ||
</p> | ||
</li> | ||
<li> | ||
Achieve your goals whilst having fun! | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
Whilst no EddieHub member is the same, one thing we all have in | ||
common - Open Source is our hobby, our passion - not just a job. | ||
</p> | ||
<p className="mt-4 text-lg tracking-tight"> | ||
At EddieHub we will always encourage members to make their next | ||
Open Source contribution and we are their biggest cheerleaders. | ||
Whether we might nudge members directly to check on how their | ||
project is going, to hackathons and challenges as well as asking | ||
them to come out of their comfort zone to moderate a call or | ||
speak in public for the first time. | ||
