A month ago, Hector did an amazing talk on Asahi that was essentially was a talk on "What it takes to make an open source project work": community, tooling, considering users (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COlvP4hODpY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COlvP4hODpY).
And one of the examples he gave regarding "considering users" was why they chose to disable speaker support until they could ensure user safety, as well as ensure a quality sound experience.
When discussing open source projects and communities in academia, we often try to categorize every aspect, as well as focus on projects that failed and why. I try to do the opposite and instead focus on what worked and why - and the Asahi project is a stellar example of how to do an open source project well on every level.
