- Public-facing instinct
- you're comfortable being a recognisable voice.
- You don't need to be loud, but you do need to be present
- Taste and judgment
Skills

Compensation

Benefits
- Identify and nurture champions; maintainers, power users, repeat contributors, and future speakers, geared as a durable learning and trust engine
Company info
