Asynchronous Collective Distributed Care

Spread the load of [[free software project management]]. Down with the [[Benevolent Dictator For Life]].

To resist this HOT mindset, let's redefine maintenance as ACDC: Asynchronous Collective Distributed Care:

• Asynchronous because time management is a private matter and we are all volunteers.

• Collective because, well, no man is an island.

• Distributed: the more power to the "edges", the more resilient the project is.

• Care because this is all about care: with each other as users or as contributors, with the project's infrastructure (servers, websites, bug trackers, etc.) and care about having a useful product.
