A little community resource I made

One of my current focuses that I've been meaning to do for years is get back into learning, reading, writing and making on the topic of community building.

I've made steps in the right direction, slowly but surely.

One thing that I've always found useful (and did for Ministry of Testing) was create a central resource of usefulness. Much of this involves taking a bit of time to get to know the landscape and set up processes that makes things easier to receive information.

I'm essentially doing this for me, but at the same time I hope it will be useful to others.

I've created community.rosie.land:

  • it's no code
  • one page website built with Carrd
  • I used my logo from rosie.land and adapted it for this site/page
  • I searched out books, podcasts and websites
  • I've searched out rss feeds for podcasts, blogs and websites and I combined them into one rss feed
  • I also have a Flipboard rss feed fed in, so when I see something it can just flip it and it gets added into the overall feed
  • I use the combined rss feed to create a weekly automated email with Mailchimp
  • I will keep researching and adding RSS feeds as I find them, over time it should become really useful, relevant and non-bias place to discover community news.

If it sounds interesting, there's an email form at the bottom :)
