DESCRIPTION:Participating in online open source communities can be a positi
 ve experience\, but it isn't necessarily so for everyone. Stories abound o
 f mistreatment of project maintainers and community contributors\, includi
 ng bullying\, doxing\, even acts of outright violence. But those negative 
 experiences don't have to happen! Creating a safe and welcoming environmen
 t for open source development begins with you. Discover how you can affect
  positive change in your own project space and the spaces of others within
  the open source community through practical and achievable actions. You w
 ill gain a better understanding of the problem\, and the changes necessary
  to begin addressing it. Unfortunately\, there may always be those who are
  not interested in being a part of this solution. You will learn ways to e
 nsure you are able to take care of yourself within this reality\, while br
 eaking the pattern of negativity within the spaces willing to accept a pos
 itive change. You play a critical role in building and maintaining communi
 ties that are welcoming\, inclusive\, and safe. Explore how you\, and your
  communities\, will benefit from changing things for the better.
