Builders In Bitcoin EP28: Facilitating FOSS Development w/ Haley Berkoe, Program Manager - Spiral

I had the pleasure of talking with Haley Berkoe, Program Manager at Spiral. Haley is a prime example of someone leveraging non-technical skills to make a valuable contribution to the Bitcoin ecosystem, demonstrated through her ability to facilitate and manage open-source projects and the developers behind them.

In this episode, we discuss and dig into:

  • the goals and responsibilities of a program manager
  • the importance of facilitation in removing logistical pressure from developers
  • how to proliferate open-source grant programs and build community
  • and a lot more…
