- Technical writers for documentation
- Community builders
- and more!

Recently, @npub12s5jvjpmulyx3csf87rszp3udjkcnvgh40trv3ywlu737sq4xj9q07t6jr held a number of interviews to connect @npub1lmn3z6en8fjge8dluypcfeh6l8ja4qdwa7kg23p4anw8gnnewdcs0ysc9n community members with #Bitcoin #FOSS projects.
There were a number of insights that are inspiring a new BPC project 🔥
___
The tl;dr
- FOSS projects and contributors have difficulty match making
- We interviewed both sides to this hypothesis ⬆️
- We worked to find the “special sauce”
- Next step is to create an MVP for Bitcoin FOSS + contributor match making
___
The problem?
In our experience, we’ve found that #Bitcoin ers want to contribute to the ecosystem, but don’t know how.
And FOSS projects need help, but often don’t know where to find high quality contributors.
https://nostr.build/i/c1b5eda714906a404cecf9fc1eb7ea2fbecfbb9dac951fbf6907132af9e6568b.jfif
___
We set out to learn what both sides are looking for.
For FOSS projects, they typically want someone to commit 2-6 hours a week to contributing.
And, the main areas which needed assistance are marketing, translations, and project & product management.
___
When interviewing members of our community, we saw that most people wanted to commit 5 hours a week. Roughly an hour a day before, or after, their day job.
Most members came from a project management background, but some product-focused and marketing professionals were interviewed as well.
___
Likely the biggest insight when interviewing community members was their motivation to contribute.
We saw an even split between three categories (value alignment, impact, and career), and people also had multiple reasons for wanting to contribute.

___
During this interview process, we struck up some connections between the Bitcoin Product Community members and #Bitcoin FOSS projects.
- @npub1vh5nvfd8yt3j3neq5zj2vw4h0n3jvtvfjgje6hp9cp7yv8kguarqnsan97 - PM
- @npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl - PM
- BDK - Marketing
- BDK - PM
- Hello Bitcoin - PM
- Hello Bitcoin - Educator
- Accessibility - PM
- Bitcoin Optech - Maintainer
- Two other connections by being part of BPC
We’re super stoked to see more people getting an opportunity to contribute to the broader ecosystem 🙏
___
Our next step is to build out an MVP that connects builders to open-source projects in the #Bitcoin ecosystem.
We’ll be building out a FOSS opportunity board in our GitHub repo, where projects can post what areas they need support with.
Follow the repo for updates: https://github.com/Bitcoin-Product-Community

We’re excited to get this out to the community 🙌
And if you’re interested in contributing to #Bitcoin, but don’t know where to start…
Hop into our discord, meet the community and get involved: https://discord.com/invite/Ff8cAAQN8H
👋 Hello world! We are the #Bitcoin Product Community.
We're a brand new group and our vision is to create a space for product-oriented individuals to collaborate and drive forward high-impact FOSS & commercial projects within the bitcoin ecosystem. https://bitcoinproduct.substack.com/p/we-are-the-bitcoin-product-community
Back in June of 2022, #[0] and Conor Okus created a discord to provide a space for bitcoin product managers to come together. Since then, the small rag-tag group of Bitcoin PM’s has evolved into a diverse community of passionate bitcoiners from various disciplines.
At the start of 2023, we began holding biweekly meetings to brainstorm and vision-cast what the community could be. Today, we’re finally excited to share with you what we have planned.
To start, our community will be a training ground where new and experienced product-oriented bitcoiners can learn how to contribute to free and open source software (FOSS) projects through reading clubs, interviews of FOSS Bitcoin pms, biweekly calls, and more!
Then we hope to begin connecting contributors to bitcoin projects who need help. (PS, if you’re a FOSS bitcoin project that needs resources, developers, copywriters, marketers, our DM’s are open! We will try our best to get you the help you need.)
Finally, our last two initiatives are to identify high-impact projects for us to tackle as a community as well as to foster collaboration between commercial and FOSS bitcoin projects.
Our vision is ambitious but that's why we need your help.
This is an open call for all bitcoiners regardless of your background, both technical and non-technical alike. If you’ve been wanting to get involved with bitcoin but weren’t sure how, your time is now.
Hop on our Discord (https://discord.gg/3zSYQ8PaJb) and join our calls. Come help us build a vibrant, diverse, and ever-growing community of Bitcoin contributors.
Lastly, we’ll be hosting a Twitter space this Friday (9am PT).
It’ll be hosted by Conor Okus, #[1], #[2], #[3], #[4], #[5], #[6], and other incredible people!
