As someone who likes helping with open source projects, I really liked this article about making teams for open source.

These people should have good skills and care about what the project wants to do.

We should also be happy when people from different backgrounds help with the project. It's good to check regularly if everyone feels included. This way, everyone can feel like they are part of the team and that their ideas matter.
