I am in the United States, and am willing to donate time to help with installation and configuration (but not the coding side of it for custom plugins, etc.). I primarily am well versed in the docker deployment of this, as well as some additional bits and pieces, but I actively admin and operate discord sites for individuals who ask me to as a consultant or secondary administrator.
I can also assist with community management as well, post-installation.

- I am willing to donate some of my time to help with community management and can assist with setting up and configuring Discourse instances (no coding or hosting, though). I have no prior experience with either on discourse itself.
- I can speak
/ English, 
Dutch, some French and a little 
German.
(I use a combination of https://deepl.com/ and Google Translate to translate posts.) - I am 18+ and have previous experience with contributing to, translating and reporting vandalism, technical issues on Discourse forums, (non-discourse) wikis and other (social) services, hosting and moderating Discord servers and some limited technical troubleshooting.
- I am mainly active in gaming-related topics.

So do we have an army of volunteer community managers? Are some active? I did not receive any enquiry. Did anyone else?

I have certainly heard of a few success storied, maybe we should make another topic to track that … @nathank maybe kick off a “success story” topic?

I’m not sure I can claim a full success - our site (healthforum.nz) exploded numbers-wise for a while and had great discussions, but then hit the skids as people stopped wanting to talk about COVID-19 any more. We are currently working on re-inventing it for the long term as a flexible multi-disciplinary national (all health related) platform for discussion and collaboration.
It was actually really hard to find community managers who understand both our local culture and our health peculiarities particularly with privacy; we really need to find community managers from our own. That has meant training them up, which is a very slow and laborious process. @pacharanero was a co-conspirator and amazingly supportive, @angus has been invaluable, and @HAWK and @Rhidian have given great advice. And the whole @staff here have given us special attention, which has been really appreciated.

Would like to say a big thank you to Sam Saffron for starting this thread and of course the team at Discourse, this entire community but especially those who specifically offered their assistance.
And for encouragement, support and wishes to Nathan and Profile - InspektorCluzo - Discourse Meta
One person in particular deserves thanks and I hope they don’t mind me posting this:
A bit about our experience here - maybe of some use.
peace & love
