I've been working on Tampa Devs with the other co-founder since September of 2021, along with a group of really excellent volunteers.
We're a nonprofit that's loosely inspired by nyc's Recurse Center (https://www.recurse.com/). We host events, a mentorship program, and career development resources. All of which are free or very low cost.
Our community has grown to include thousands of local developers. It feels good to be part of something that drives a widely positive impact, especially on a local level. Anyone can do something similar no matter where they are, and I would highly recommend it.
For a cool technical angle, here's a talk I gave at a local conference on the tools we use to run our community at scale: https://go.tampa.dev/unityops.
