Getting started
This is the community manager handbook for the AT Protocol community in Europe. It collects what we have learned from running community events, so you do not have to start from scratch.
It is written for anyone who wants to bring people together around AT Protocol: run a meetup, host a hackathon, facilitate an unconference, translate a country site, or report something that is broken. You do not need to ask permission to organize. You need a bit of time and a few pointers, and the pointers are here.
How the community is set up
Section titled “How the community is set up”There is one shared codebase behind a set of national sites, one per country (atproto.nl,
atproto.be, and so on), plus atproto.eu as the Europe-wide aggregate that lists events from
every country. Each national site is standalone: its own maintainers, its own language, its own
events. This handbook lives on docs.atproto.eu because it is the same for every country.
There is no central office running your event. As a local organizer you are the first point of contact for your speakers and attendees. What the community offers is coordination, promotion through the sites, and introductions to organizers who have done this before.
Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”- Running an event? Read the blueprint that fits: hackathon, meetup, or unconference.
- Improving a country site? See translations, report a bug, or request a feature.
- Everyone: the code of conduct applies to every community event and space.
Getting in touch
Section titled “Getting in touch”The sites and this handbook are open source. The fastest way to reach the people who run them is to open an issue on the website repository. For anything specific to one country, the maintainer is listed in that country site’s footer.
