#  FLOSS Community Programs

We’re not unique in wanting our contributor community to be happy, diverse, and 
productive. This page is an ever-growing list of the 3rd-party programs, associations,
resources, articles, etc that should be on our radar. They may be included as a 
potential partner, a program in which we could be a participant, or just inspiration
as an org that’s doing something right.
