Hey @swyx.io!
Yeah, it's just a pile of tech talks, the conference & some events, and it's me and a handful of other folks from the #ATCommunityFund, not a developer hub!
There are no paid devrel or ecosystem roles by anyone yet!
Lots more community infra needed.

Secondly, the #ATCommunityFund can support developers and commons infrastructure with grants and hosting costs.
This is very small funding compared to paying people full time, but it means we can unblock experiments and make it so devs aren’t paying for server costs out of their own pocket.

We are slowly setting up #ATCommunityFund to support more things, especially when a little bit of money deployed quickly can support massive impact things like an alternate mobile app.

I'm really glad that the Raft Foundation agreed to support us with fiscal sponsorship for the new #ATCommunityFund.
Their values are very inspiring, and are the exact kind of collective that I'm proud to be a part of.

We'll end with some of the Raft Foundation's values:
A raft is about survival and adventure, collaboration and flow. Amidst today's torrent of crises, it's easy to feel helpless. But we believe that if we work together, we can stay afloat, and even shape our collective destiny.
