Building a community is fundamentally about recognizing a group of people with underserved needs and the common thread of interest and passion that engages them. Red Hat is home to more than 50 Communities of Practice (CoPs): internal communities where associates from many differing roles and departments collaborate on technical, task-related, or vertical-centric topics. One is the Gaming CoP, focused on the video game industry (which is not historically a deep user of or contributor to open source), but more broadly, the interactive entertainment and simulation industries from animation and film to robotics and AI. We’ve built an open source arcade, hosted livestreams and podcasts, created demos, and engaged hundreds of colleagues with open source through a shared love for gaming. Join Gaming CoP leader Ruth Suehle to learn about building influence in an industry that has low open source familiarity or trust, the current state of open source in game development, and how to build an open community of practice in your company. If you heard this talk at OSS 2021, return to hear about a new year of growth, adjusting to change, and the lessons learned.
