should we start a community to announce and seek contributors for open source projects? (awful.systems)

given the absolute fucking state of the open source community in general, and the fact that hacker news of all places is where the majority of new open source projects get discovered, is there any interest in starting a community here where folks can announce and solicit for help with their open source projects?

we could possibly use NotAwfulTech, but:

  • I kind of want to keep self-promotion out of that community
  • my code is probably awful for everyone else, that's why I'm seeking contributors

let me know if anyone's down for the new community or wants to expand the scope of NotAwfulTech to include stuff like this. if you're on team new community also feel free to suggest a name

I'm pretty ignorant of it and haven't really looked into it too much,, but from the surface the "hacker culture" surrounding things like the Chaos Computer Club and whatnot seem much more palatable, seem skeptical of, or outright reject, capitalist influence and is less right-libertarian than hacker culture in the US.
