JuliaMakers aims to take over the world. Just kidding - we're just a bunch of people who like to tinker with stuff and share what we've done! If you're one of those people please contact, join, or contribute with us. As far as I see it, we do have some mutual goals, and some neighboring organizations such as https://github.com/Julia-Embedded. But don't take what's written here as some authoritative thing, all ideas are worth sharing and exploring.
There are roughly 6 phases to getting this organization off of the ground
- Understand the prexisting contributions from the Julia Community that may fall into this category.
- Reach out to contributors, collaborators, let them know they are welcome here.
- Find 'flagship' packages which should be included in this organization and don't step on toes. There may not be any that directly belong here, so maybe a curated list of Maker friendly packages to help people navigate what tools are readily available and what aren't.
- Share some of our personal contributions in the form of projects or work in progress repositories.
- Stoke the community with blog posts, funny projects, and positive feelings.
- Keep thinking and keep tinkering!
