Clubhouse · Slack

A monthly Clubhouse / Slack community I ran with Ralph Bou Mechrek. First Thursday of every month, casual conversations on GSD, business value, organizational transformation. Wound down when Clubhouse did.

What it was:

  • First-Thursday-of-the-month live conversations
  • Guests, AMAs, story-sharing
  • Companion Slack community (#minimum-viable-thursdays)
  • Topics: DevOps culture, transformation, business value, the practitioner's view

Why it stopped: Clubhouse went quiet. The format depended on the platform. The community lives on in the GSD essay series, the Manager README's social bonds, and the friendships that formed.

What it taught: The community wasn't really about the platform — it was about creating a public space where principals could be uncertain out loud. That instinct shows up in current work too.
