Emphasis mine.
I had no free time, and it was another situation where most members were so incredible and energizing, but the few focused on taking and demanding became a breaking point. It was too much work for anyone not receiving compensation to keep up with. As an industry, I wish we were more mindful of the toll it takes to run communities and open-source projects. Because when we don’t have this insight and empathy, we are left with mega-corp-backed events not grounded in the sense of improving the spaces around us.
