Reddit Ask Me Anything: Wednesday Nov 20th 2019

by | Mon 4 Nov 2019

I am excited to be back for another Reddit Ask Me Anything on Wed 20th November 2019 at 8.30am Pacific / 11.30am Eastern.

For those unfamiliar with Reddit AMAs, it is essentially a way in which people can ask questions that someone will respond to. You simply add your questions (serious or fun) and I will respond to as many as I can. It has been a while since my last AMA, so I am looking forward to this one!

Feel free to ask any questions you like. Here is some food for thought:

  • The value of building communities, what works, and what doesn’t
  • The methods and approaches to community management, leadership, and best practice.
  • My new book, ‘People Powered: How communities can supercharge your business, brand, and teams‘, what is in it, and what it covers.
  • Recommended tools, techniques, and tricks to build communities and get people involved.
  • Working at Canonical, GitHub, XPRIZE, and elsewhere.
  • The open source industry, how it has changed, and what the future looks like.
  • Remote working and online collaboration, and what the future looks like
  • The projects I have been involved in such as Ubuntu, GNOME, KDE, and others.
  • The driving forces behind people and groups, behavioral economics, etc.
  • My other things such as my music, conferences, writing etc.
  • Anything else – politics, movies, news, tech…ask away!

If you want to ask about something else though, go ahead! 🙂

How to Join

Joining the AMA is simple. Just follow these steps:

  • Be sure to have a Reddit account. If you don’t have one, head over here and sign up.
