In the context of increasing populism, fake news, polarization, distrust. Fights for and against being “woke”, being marginalized for being the same. Being marginalized for being different. Splintering and fracturing of groups and ideas.
In the context of some, not all, ageing teams within Ubuntu or Debian, with no new people coming in and staying, my question is:

How do we build community across difference?

Being welcoming to leftists, and yes, to the right. To libertarians, to whatever and whoever, together.
I mean this further than expectations of individual behaviour, policies, codes of conduct, I mean designing engagement to facilitate participation by a broader community.

Said in another way, how do we also get more non-leftists to contribute to open source?
