"Good intentions never work, you need good mechanisms to make anything happen." - Jeff Bezos
- Onboard Open Source community spirit
- Good Leaders talk about it
- People need your expertise, motivation, love
There are some problems, all of us can keep talking, complaining which involves changing mindsets. As example, getting away from sugar, or being vegetarian, or changing community culture. But, sometimes we can partially suceed if right approach is taken.
Engineers love build stuff, solve problems! There is another role, called Community Architects, shaping dream community.
So let’s shape it:
- Egoless, collaborative, competent, decentralized, scalable, fun community culture
- Structured and indexed data flow within community
- Politics
- Religion
- Immigration
All participants have 5mins and 1 slide to talk. Time keeping should be in place, make sure todo homework not exceed allocated time budget.
So, its up to participant creativity, some thoughts:
- Who you are, what are things you care and interest
- How can community help you, move faster in ladder
- Any how, you would like give back to community (referral, guidance etc.)
It is for 1 person/year. First time, more like as intro, coming years, it is more like public update. What did and what is going to do.

There are 5 stages of community mindset:
- All life sucks
- My life sucks
- I am great, others suck
- We are great as community, others suck
- Life is great!
The success of community is measured, not based on individual level, but rather in which stage the majority are:

The GOUP project is the idea of a Azeri tech community living abroad.
Build bridges between tech professionals in a collaborative ways across the borders.
Make the world better place to live, using technology and right culture.
Build egoless, collaborative, competent, decentralized, scalable, fun community culture. Our goal is simple to structure and index the data flow within communities.
- Once keep scaling use email in BCC mode, for initiatives 1:1 communications and Slack is preferred
- It is tech community and easy to use English as a preference, but you are free
- "Don't let me think 8x8" rule should be applied to email (8 bullets x 8 words)
- You may do get spammed, annoyed, distracted sometimes maybe, let's see the good side, keep inspiring, supporting each other and move on
