Discourse team is an amazing example of how to develop in open, grow as a successful business and creating avenues for a flourishing ecosystem to emerge. Huge fan for what you are achieving.
This is also to congratulate one of the prolific contributor @angus . Not only he has created wonderful plugins but has setup a good freelancer cooperative ( https://thepavilion.io/) to do discourse related work.
I just randomly stumbled on to a post ( Theme Component: Navigation on User Page - Tasks - Pavilion) and found good things there
- Direct interaction with customer requests
- Open pricing model
- Mentorship
- Open source code as an output
I loved the overall culture created in Pavilion & Discourse Community.
Thanks for everything.
