In the conversation about #guix sustainability I've talked a few times about Clojure Together which I think is a great example of "making things happen" (originally by just one person Daniel Compton) in a small community. Clojure is a small community compared to Python/Rust or whatever - but this project has been great for the Clojure community - recognising, supporting and sustaining improvements. Could equally apply to #guile #scheme
