Hey Tribe, I wanted to get some feedback on my thought to build guilds (groups of volunteers) to run the community. There are three stages for any community(not my framework) 1️⃣ sparking the flame 2️⃣ stoking the fire 3️⃣ Passing the torch And I feel that it's time for stage 3 to happen by creating more leaders. These leaders can take ownership of the following guilds and create more impact for everyone in the tribe.

Community Guild - Keep the vibe of the community right. Refine onboarding, create a wiki

Marketing + Biz Dev - Spread the word by sharing knowledge. Get sponsors.

Development Guild - Build internal tools that can help support the community. Improve the website.

Design - Create logo, brand. Create stickers, merchandise.

Writing - Write guides, publish interviews.

Build - Build physical spaces in remote parts of India. Share knowledge of building housing structures.

Governance - Manage Treasury. Identify Values, Mission. Anything that has an overarching effect on the community.

Also, to add some more context. Here's my mission (which needs to be reviewed by the community)

Inspirational version: Help Indian engineering and product professionals passionate about building their careers as remote talent to share proven strategies, best practices and the paths that each of us are navigating in building our careers, so that we can each pursue a less travelled path without anxiety, reach our financial goals and live our lives to the fullest.

Concrete (and measurable): 1000 RI members who feel green while working remotely. If they don't feel green, then figure out what their problems are and try to help them. Conduct monthly polls to figure out (red, orange, green). Use content and other ways to achieve this mission.

PS: ⚠️ These are very early thoughts on how to make the community sustainable in the long run
